The film begins with our dying El Salvador. He is suffering from mental and physical torture, and his will to survive is losing. His mother died four years ago, and he underwent back surgery two years ago. He has not recovered until now. The once determined and vigorous director let himself fall into drug addiction.

His lover, Frederick, also fell into drug addiction. At that time, their love was very hot. He wanted to use love to bring Feila back, but he was disappointed at that time. He felt that love did not overcome addiction. But when Fei came back to visit him, he found that Fei had lived a happy life. Listening to Fei's story, Salvador's eyes were wet. Such a happy ending was like a gift from the sky. Fei's visit saved him, his will to survive came back, he asked the doctor for help again, and he also told his manager about his guilt towards his mother.

When he was a child, he once taught a craftsman to read and write, and fifty years later, the paintings made by the former craftsman for him were transferred into his hands. When he saw that painting, he was completely alive, the doctor helped him find the disease, the operation was successful, and he started to create works about him and the craftsman, about him and his mother.

This is a story about love, love is a two-way street, once because of love, you brought light to others, and one day that light will shine on yourself. We are only mortal, and we will encounter all kinds of pain in life. If one day we are deep in hell and can save us, it is the love given to us by others, and that love is so warm and powerful, maybe because we have lit it up .

    It's "Law of Desire" and "Bad Education" (you can understand the connection between the three after you read the plot), but obviously the past two are full of wildness of mature people, but this one carries the vicissitudes and sadness of the old age. The protagonist was in a predicament in his creation, and his body was full of pain. Many people contacted Almodovar's advanced age, so I was crying. Pain and glory, different time and space interspersed, reality and fiction are intertwined, with advanced narrative structure and master scheduling, still telling the story of film creators. The creator is precisely the most sensitive person in the world. The relationship between him and the world, and self, and creation, and desire and love, and the past and memory, is it not something you and I face together? It's just that Almodovar's share is a hundred times richer than ours. He is really discerning in choosing young actors.

    At 7 points, Almodovar looked back at his memory. Childhood, motherhood, and love for movies. Even Banderas's hairstyle is very Almodovar. The whole film is very gentle, and when people reach old age, their memories become warm.
