A special kind of Oedipus. A love affair with a triple personality judge. A spiritual dominance.


There are no male and female protagonists of Almodovar in this movie.
But he still made a subtle and magical portrayal of female psychology, and he is good at portraying the female emotions that have been left behind.
The color of each frame is very strong, and the color of black and hemp is not found, and the use of red is super beautiful.
I didn't like red very much at first, but after watching his movie, I found that it was well controlled, which was really amazing.

The story is about the ties between a big star mother and an ordinary daughter.


Starting with the airport, the daughter appeared at the airport dressed in Chanel, anxiously waiting to be picked up at the airport. Then, the story goes back to more than ten years ago, when she vacationed on an island with her stepfather and mother, and bought a pair of white earrings, which she still wears to this day, because her mother also has the exact same pair. After her mother divorced her biological father, she remarried to this stepfather, but her stepfather did not allow her mother to come back and pursue an acting career. In order to help her mother, she secretly exchanged two bottles of her stepfather's medicine. As a result, her stepfather died in an accident in a car accident, so she Indirectly liberated her mother, which she told her herself many years later.

The picture goes back to the present tense. At the airport, a middle-aged beautiful woman with a big red hat and a red suit walks out of the airport, followed by an assistant, all of which are LV suitcases, local tyrants, which shows her mother's acting skills for more than ten years. The business is very successful.

The daughter is very excited, but she doesn't know how to express it, she loves it and hates it. I love her mother and haven't seen her for many years, hate her mother for leaving her for many years, don't care about her career, and didn't even attend her wedding. When the mother learned that her son-in-law was her old lover, she blamed her daughter for not discussing the marriage with her. But nothing can be done now.


When her stepfather died, she was very happy thinking that her mother was going to take her to live with her in Mexico, but her mother deceived her. It took more than ten years to send her to her biological father. Now she is 27 years old. She is the announcer of CHANNEL 5, her husband is the director of CHANNEL 5, and Tongli is also her mother's old lover many years ago. Why she would marry a man much older than her is because he is her mother's old lover, because this is the only thing she can do better than her mother.


After her mother came back, she invited her to dinner at home, and then eavesdropped on the conversation between her mother and her husband. Then went to the show, there was a cross-dressing show, imitating her mother's performance. Every time she missed her mother, she would go to this show. Over time, she became good friends with transvestites, and she became somewhat ambiguous. On the night she brought her mother to the show, she betrayed her husband backstage in front of her husband. The transvestite was also deeply in love with her.


After her mother's return, she couldn't help seducing her and rekindled her relationship with her old lover, her daughter's husband. Others, her husband had always been disloyal, and her lover included her mother, the announcer who broadcasted in sign language with her. Her husband has always wanted to divorce her, but she insisted on it, but it didn't mean that she loved her husband too much. If she divorced, even the strength of her mother would disappear. She couldn't accept it, so she killed him. . And he confessed his guilt during the live news, but the whole story took a big turn because of a mysterious character of transvestites.
