Soap star Pepa (Almodovar favorite Carmen Maura) is losing her mind because her lover, Iván, is leaving her. Iván's wife goes on a gun-toting rampage when she finds out. Meanwhile, Pepa's friend Candela needs a place to hide because she has unwittingly fallen for a Shiite terrorist. At Pepa's, she meets Iván's son Carlos (Banderas), whose fiancée has been drugged by Pepa's Valium-laced gazpacho. Confusing? Absolutely. But how can you resist a film where kindly grandmothers make the nightly news and the mother of a notorious killer endorses detergent?
