“Green Waters” is the name of the seaside resort where Juan plans to spend the summer holiday with his wife and children. But things go wrong. Sexual temptation is everywhere. Juan is consumed by fears of being pushed aside by his family and not being able to protect his daughter from lurking dangers. His Freudian wife explains to him that his fears are a projection of his desire for sex with another woman and urges him to go to a therapist. Juan ignores her. The camera shares Juan’s grotesque-neurotic perspective and in the classic suspense-movie style of past eras the film score evokes the inner life of a paranoid capable of anything.
