Enrique would ordinarily not be interested, but he learns that his visitor is the Ignacio – the boy who was his first adolescent love, back in school, and that the story is set in their school days and involves Ignacio being sexually abused by a priest at the school. Ignacio has written a story he wants Enrique to read.
The story, which I will not describe, involves a young movie director named Enrique ( Fele Martinez) who is visited one day by Ignacio ( Gael Garcia Bernal). While you're watching it, you don't realize how confused you are, because it either makes sense from moment to moment or, when it doesn't, you're distracted by the sex. Pedro Almodovar's new movie is like an ingenious toy that is a joy to behold, until you take it apart to see what makes it work, and then it never works again. So there's 153 words right there, and my guess is, you're thinking the hell with it, just tell us what it's about and if it's any good.
