Description: Long lost and believed to be unfinished, the film was discovered in 2019 and restored by Filmoteca Española. It was later screened at a festival in Spain… Now remastered and repaired by SleazeMovies.com…
Based, quite loosely, on Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Gold-Bug,” VAYA replaces Poe’s master-and-assistant dynamic with Simon (Emilio Alvarez, looking barely 17 but absolutely gorgeous), a rich young bookworm, and his new bride Yolanda (Lina Romay), whom he meets on the beach when she seduces him by suggestively eating a popsicle. It’s barely five minutes before the two are hearing wedding bells, and, embarked on their honeymoon in the Banana Islands, the couple is almost immediately sucked into a weird treasure-hunting expedition after a dying man hands them a mysterious scrap of paper. Discovering it contains a coded message visible only upon prolonged exposure to sunlight, Yolanda enlists the demure Simon to follow along with her scheme, which somehow loops in a group of “Chinese” pirates, a sassy toy robot, and random, pointless exposition scenes that bring the plot to a screeching halt.
