Spanish drama written and directed Pedro Almodóvar. Marisa Paredes stars as Leo Macías, a woman living a double life who finds that being a successful romantic novelist does not necessarily bring happiness. Her husband does not love her, her best friend seems distracted and her mother and sister are too busy arguing to notice that anything is wrong. Frustrated with her professional life and her disintegrating relationships with those closest to her, Leo is eventually forced to re-evaluate her future after surviving an overdose. (StudioCanal UK)
