 A birthday treat turns into heart-rending tragedy for single-mother Manuela when her teenage son is killed in a car accident after a performance of A Streetcar Named Desire starring his favourite actress Huma Roja. Determined to exorcise her overwhelming guilt, Manuela goes to Barcelona to finally tell his father about the son he never had. There, the reason why she had kept the identity of her forbidden lover a secret for so long is revealed. He is a transvestite named Lula who is dying from an AIDS related illness. However in confronting her own past, Manuela forges a new future with Lula's transsexual best friend Agrado. Considered by critics world wide as to be the finest movie Almodovar has directed in his entire glittering career. *MR |
