“Combines sensuality, spirituality and sheer joy in storytelling in marvellously harmonious proportions” Time Out
In this ravishing tale of romantic obsession, loneliness and friendship, Pedro Almodóvar crafts a life-affirming story of two tragic women and the men who love them.
After a chance encounter at a theatre, two men, Benigno and Marco, meet at a private clinic where Benigno works. Lydia, Marco’s girlfriend and a bullfighter by profession, has been injured and is gravely ill. It so happens that Benigno is looking after another woman in the clinic, Alicia, a young ballet student.
The lives of the four characters will flow in all directions, past, present and future, urging them towards an unexpected destiny.
