Barcelona-based Zarathustra is an 18-year-old young man who claims to be the world's youngest gayporn director-producer-model. Tentaciones (Temptations) is his first film, which he also wrote and edited.
    Zarathustra stars, as a young man from a coastal village who is awakened to his sexuality by two youths he meets at the beach. Zarathustra has just been fired from his job and the two youths, Nicolas and Adrian, who have been ogling him, offer their sympathy at his obvious distress, and invite him to come home with them.
    Nicolas and Adrian introduce Zaratustra to gay sex, but he feels that he cannot be himself and grow in such a small village, so he bids his new friends farewell and travels to Barcelona.
    There, while asking for directions, he meets Max, who offers him a room in his apartment. They quickly becomes lovers, which does not prevent Zaratustra from enjoying the pleasures of other men's bodies, including Max's friend Alan and Max's other roommate, Hector.
    Tentaciones has five scenes, the first being a three-way with Nicolas and Adrian. Zarathustra has two scenes with Max and one each with Hector and Alan. There is also a partial scene, in which Zaratustra fantasizes, after having had sex with both Max and Alan, about all of them having a three-way.
    The lighting and camera work need help here and there — shadows or body parts sometimes impede the view — but that can be learned. While the story itself may be clichéd, it is told without self-consciousness or affectation.
    The models are gorgeous, particularly tousle-haired Max, who also has body hair, and muscular Alan, who has a great butt. I particularly liked Alan's scene with Zaratustra because it genuinely conveys the sense of new lovers exploring each other's bodies.
    It will be interesting to see where Zaratustra goes from here. He has a look all his own, with porcelain skin, a willowy frame, the bone structure of a fashion model, full lips and — his most exotic feature — cascading curly hair that reaches past his shoulder blades. He could be the love child of Michael Lucas and Botticelli's Venus.
    It's not often that a porn entrepreneur shows such talent and ambition at such a youthful age. And he reads Nietzsche. Tentaciones is a breath of fresh air.
    The film is spoken is Spanish, with subtitles selectable in English, French or Italian. It is available only online at www.zaratustra-production.com.
