When her father becomes gravely ill, beautiful Lena (Cruz) consents to a relationship with her boss Ernesto (José Luis Gómez), a very wealthy, much-older man who pays for her father's hospitalization and provides her a lavish lifestyle. But Lena's dream is to act and soon she falls for the director of her first film - a project bankrolled by her husband to keep her near. Upon his discovery of the affair, Ernesto stops at nothing to ruin Lena's happiness. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

All of you Rosemund Pilchers and Danielle Steels out there had better start getting worried, Almodóvar has broken into the romance fiction market. Boring romance fiction that you’ve seen a hundred times in telenovelas, feebly masked by calling it art. If it weren’t for Penelope, in a couple of years time, we’d be more likely to see this on morning housewives’ TV than on the CT2 Film Club.

An emotionally incoherent and typically Spanish film that is full of passion. Sometimes it's great, especially when Almodóvar steps out of the interior shots and smoothly transitions to the colorful, loaded exteriors, full of perfectly coordinated colors and half-uttered sentences. You think that the atmosphere is exceptional and it makes sense, but then another cut comes and a ton of dialogue, half of which is unnecessary. It repeats itself, as always. There's too much talking and not enough action. Penelope Cruz is the only one who doesn't even have to speak and she will still be great.
