Lively and fragrant, this is a description of life. In fact, after watching the movie, we can also be sure that this is not a story that simply describes desire. Although there is a rather beautiful love scene in it.
Because Victor was born on a bus, Spain, which was ruled by gray at the time, seemed to lose some of its deadness. It wasn't until I watched the film that I understood the seemingly unrelated opening scene. He and his mother were granted free public transport for life by the ruler of the day, and people in the news asserted that he would have a life on wheels.
Obviously, this would not be the film Almodovar wanted to make.
Victor was very ordinary after that, except for a special ID that would ensure him free bus rides. Elena lets him know for the first time the joys of sex, but she no longer welcomes Victor. Victor sat on the bus around the city, the driver so impatient that he had to name a destination. In the mind of ordinary people, maybe everyone must have a destination. Victor finally came to Elena's house, but accidentally got involved in a peach-colored dispute. Two police officers, Sancho and David, come to their apartment when they hear gunshots during a fight between Victor and Elena. In the chaos, Sancho used Victor to shoot his colleague David, who had an affair with his wife Carla. Elena fled under the protection of David, and because of the retrospect and emotion at the time, she married David, who was paralyzed and started to play wheelchair basketball.
Victor revived his life in prison, writing in a letter to his mother that he was studying education, religion, in order to reduce his sentence and enrich himself. His mother left without waiting for him to return. Victor meets David and Elena at his mother's cemetery, and meets Kara by chance.
He had planned to take revenge. That plan of revenge was ludicrous in his later statements to Elena. He wants to be the most powerful lover in the world, he wants to have sex with Elena all the time, so that Elena can't leave him. He learned enough tricks from Carla to make Carla fall in love with him too. But Victor seems to have forgotten about revenge, he just loves Elena, so he wants to stay by her side.
Elena, who learned the truth about the shooting, decided to have sex to pacify Victor's hatred before leaving in order to have a peaceful life. But she really fell in love with him as Victor expected. Her husband, David, tells the violent Sancho, Victor and Cara of their relationship because of jealousy. Carla, who loves Victor deeply, went to his hut with a gun to inform his lover, where he and Sancho shot each other to death. Elena couldn't accept David's selfishness and finally chose to be with Victor. At the end of the movie, Elena and Victor, who are about to give birth, are sitting in a friend's car, and Victor tells a story from twenty-six years ago to his stomach.
At first we thought Victor would have a life that would change the fact that his mother was a prostitute.
At first we thought that Victor would be deliberately trying to kill David or Elena to make up for the six years he lost.
At first we thought Elena would keep the secret between her and Victor and continue living with David.
At first we thought Kara was going to kill Sancho at home and let Jean run to meet Victor.
But we were all wrong. It's a lively life depicted in unusual tones. There is a lot of misunderstanding, chance and ignorance in it. But fortunately, in the end we saw a satisfactory enough result.
