Synopsis

Fresh out of a mental institution, Ricky seeks love with the love of his life, B-movie actress Marina. Facing her amnesia, Ricky takes extreme measures—tying her up to rekindle their past. With a captive audience, Ricky is sure it’s only a matter of time before his beloved returns his affections.

Our take

Hot off the major success of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Almodóvar soon switched gears, taking his twist-filled melodramatic style into more dangerous territory for what is arguably the darkest romcom ever made. Not for another two decades would he get this kinky again. Viva Pedro!
