ABOUT THE FILM:

In Spanish with English subtitles.

Pedro Almodóvar, Spain’s premiere writer-director, creates an off-kilter universe of madness, mayhem and pure fun. High atop one of Spain’s poshest penthouses, three women have come to the end of their mental ropes. Super-sexy Pepa (Carmen Maura) is forever teetering around atop her skyscraper spikes as she obsesses over Iván (Fernando Guillén), the lover who just jilted her over the answering machine! Her neurotic best friend Candela (María Barranco) is seeking refuge at Pepa’s place because she recently realized her lover is a terrorist. And Iván’s ex-wife Lucía (Julieta Serrano) was just released from a 20-year stint in a mental institution. They’re all mighty mad—in fact, they’re on the verge of a nervous breakdown—and one of them is about to commit murder unless the other half-crazed femmes fatales can stop her!
