Sssh.com, Sensual-X Release ‘The Budapest Affair’
BOSTON, Mass. – Angie Rowntree’s Sssh.com has announced the release of The Budapest Affair, the studio’s third collaboration with Dennis Claes of Sensual-X.
Written and directed by Claes, The Budapest Affair stars Cherry Candle, Dave Candle and Talia Mint. Set against the stunning architecture and richly historic culture of Budapest, the story follows Talia, a photographer in search of inspiration who recently moved to Budapest to immerse herself in the city’s thriving arts scene.
During a photoshoot, Talia meets Dave, a fellow art aficionado who is immediately drawn in by Talia’s artistic vision. Their shared passion for art sparks an unexpected night of intimacy – as well as an equally unexpected and fraught emotional journey.
Unaware of Dave’s existing relationship, Talia becomes entangled in his life. When Dave’s girlfriend Cherry discovers his infidelity, she plans to confront Talia but instead finds herself inexplicably drawn to her, much as Dave was, enchanted by Talia’s artistic spirit and beauty.
As Talia, Dave and Cherry wrestle with their intertwining and conflicting emotions, the lines between friendship, love, and desire become increasingly blurred. The three are compelled to face their deepest fears, challenge societal norms and redefine their own understanding of love and fidelity.
“Working with Sssh has opened up my world in several ways,” Claes said. “It has allowed me to gain the confidence to do bigger projects and think beyond my own limitations so I can keep growing as an artist. They’ve helped boost my confidence since my first project, leading up to this feature film with a rich storyline that spans multiple locations and characters. Partnering with Sssh means being embraced as part of their team and having your number one fan at your side.”
Rowntree praised Claes’s skills and sensibilities as a filmmaker, calling The Budapest Affair “another triumph of Dennis’s imaginative and beautiful storytelling.”
“The Budapest Affair is both a story about artistic passion and an expression of artistic passion, and for a film like that to succeed as this one does requires true craftsmanship,” Rowntree said. “As always, his work stands out for its authenticity, which is reflected in the outstanding performances given by Talia, Dave and Cherry, as well.”
The Budapest Affair is available now on Sssh.com and on Sensual-x.com.
