The film was directed by rehabilitation clinic Centro Europea Neurosalus, showing some men's behaviour towards women who are under the influence.
The footage was filmed in the early evening, recording men's reactions to the actress asking for help in finding her friends.
The first group of men that are shown encourage the woman to keep drinking with them.
As she tells them "I have drunk a lot", the men respond "A lot? I don't believe you've drunk enough."
When approached by two brothers, one asks to hug the woman before the other offers to take her back to his hotel so she can charge her phone.
What could be perceived as an innocent gesture is followed by slightly more suggestive conversation about the woman's marital status and asking if her and her friend want "to go partying".
Perhaps most shockingly, another man can be seen taking the woman around a corner and begin kissing her before a crew member intervenes, as the video states 'to stop the aggression.'
The video concludes with Director Jose Miguel Gaona addressing the viewer:
“Most of you are probably surprised and some of you also disgusted and maybe you are thinking that we have avoided some scenes favouring the most "juicy" parts, but I am afraid to deceive you.
"It really was the opposite. Those situations full of rudeness and physical abuse were taken away because there is no need to show it in such depth.
"The most disappointing fact is that we had no need to edit the video. Why? Because nobody got close to helping this drunken woman.”
