A Handful of Lust

Just at the moment when Prof. David Long was convinced by his housekeeper, Nanny, that one should get much closer personally, the two are disturbed by an unsolicited guest, who then also has the impudence to simply fall dead. For the professor to be able to devote himself to the willing housekeepers, he hides the dead man in the storage room. But the case is not so easy. Half the world is looking for the dead man, Jason, including Commissioner Weasle. He's had little success so far though, because his niece kept him from work. He comes a step further when he interrogates Nanny. He also takes a very intimate body vision...

Directed by C.C. Messin, Paul Rusch, A Handful of Lust leans on a strong ensemble — Astrid Pils, Betty White, Jasmin Duran — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1990.
