A volcanic, obsessive lover turns the life of hedonistic filmmaker Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela) upside down in this smoldering tale helmed by the acclaimed Pedro Almodovar. Envious new boy-toy Antonio Benítez (Antonio Banderas) stalks and kills Pablo's former boyfriend (Miguel Molina). But that's only the beginning of the director's troubles. Carmen Maura delivers a potent performance as Pablo's transsexual sibling.
