Movie Summary: Pepa resolves to kill herself with a batch of sleeping-pill-laced gazpacho after her lover leaves her. Fortunately, she is interrupted by a deliciously chaotic series of events.
Queer Film LA Says: This madcap drama, with a whirling story of multiple women, their lovers, and some gazpacho laced with sleeping pills, is one of the greats from out Spanish director Pedro Almod�var. It's not one of his Queer films, but this is the film that put him on the map internationally.
