The film is about a women who has recently broken up with her lover, Ivan, but does not know why, so she decides to find out. Her journey starts to become complicated with her friend running from the law, her lover's son and fiancée visit her house to view it, in which the Ivan's son is roped in, police arrive at her house because a serious phone call was made about a terrorist attack and her lovers psychotic wife is out to kill Ivan.
For a 'world cinema' film, by Pedro Almodóvar, in Spanish, I did enjoy this film. The story line, though complicated at times, was, in my case, simple to understand. It had my attention from the start, with no dull moments and showing many emotional states and relationship issues that international women can relate to, as it is female heavy. However I feel that I cannot write anything else about this film because I am not sure whether or not that I have fully understood the whole context or any of the themes/issues involved within this story, though I enjoyed it, I still feel I am missing out a lot of information, but then again that may just be me.
