Short description

When an old friend brings filmmaker Enrique Goded a semi-autobiographical script chronicling their adolescence, Enrique is forced to relive his youth spent at a Catholic boarding school. Weaving through past and present, the script follows a transvestite performer who reconnects with a grade school sweetheart. Spurred on by this chance encounter, the character reflects on her childhood sexual victimization and the trauma of closeting her sexual orientation.

What's left behind the scenes

Pedro Almodóvar worked on the film's screenplay for almost 10 years.
In order to get the role in this film, Mexican Gael García Bernal learned a Castilian Spanish accent.
The world premiere of the film took place at the opening ceremony of the 57th Cannes Film Festival. It is the first Spanish film to receive such an honor.
The film contains a reference to Almodóvar's film 'I'm So Excited,' which was released in 2013. A poster for the film 'Los amantes pasajeros' hangs in the office of the main character, director Enrique Goded.
