Allen's muse Johansson plays Christina, one of two American backpackers in Spain who get involved with a painter (Bardem), and his jealous ex-girlfriend, played by Penelope Cruz.

A source told the New York Post's Page Six column: "It is extremely erotic. People will be blown away and even shocked."
