Pedro Almodóvar writes and directs this Spanish drama starring Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz.

As a film director begins to struggle with his health, he reflects on his life so far.

From his memories as a young boy and his relationship with his mother, Jacinta, (Cruz/Julieta Serrano) to his adult life dabbling in drugs and realising his sexuality, Salvador (Banderas) wrestles with his conscience over the key decisions he has made.
