Synopsis
A shooting in the Madrid apartment of Elena, an Italian dope addict, leaves policeman David a paraplegic and Victor, her would-be date, in prison. Years later, Victor gets out of jail but is obsessed with Elena, now clean, sober, and married to David, who has transcended his handicap by becoming a wheelchair basketball champion. The brooding, resentful Victor starts sleeping with their friend Clara, the sexually restless wife of David's jealous, alcoholic former cop partner, and finds out some harsh truths about what really happened that fateful night. Eventually love, desire, obsession, and betrayal all whirlwind into confrontations both deadly and intensely sexual in this colorful, vibrant film from Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar.
