The Tit and the Moon (
Spanish: La Teta y la luna) is a 1994 Spanish/French film, directed by Bigas Luna...
..The film is about a nine-year-old boy's (
Biel Durán as
Tete) obsession with women's breasts. Tete becomes jealous of his baby brother who is breast fed by their mother. Tete goes on a personal mission to find the perfect pair of lactating breasts to feed on. A beautiful
Portuguese dancer (Mathilda May) arrives in town, the answer to Tete's prayers.
Unfortunately for Tete, Estrellita is the attention of many men's affections including her husband
Maurice (
Gérard Darmon), an older man working as the other half of her travelling act, and attractive Flamenco-singing teenager,
Miguel (Miguel
Poveda). With this amount of competition will Tete fulfil his wish?
