Synopsis

After her mother dies in December, advertising director Elsa immerses herself in work to cope. When a panic attack forces her to take a break, she decides to travel to Lanzarote with her friend Patricia.

""Almodovar has lost none of his ability to surprise and provoke.""

""The film is cooler emotionally than Almodóvar’s early work but full of wit and self-awareness.""

""Almodóvar at his most acerbic, unsparing and apparently confessional, exposing for all to see the ugly human costs of making art.""
