Short description

Middle-aged romance author Leo writes under a pseudonym, since she despises her own work. At home, her husband, who works overseas, is distant both physically and emotionally. As she reevaluates her life and writing, Leo is led to an unexpected relationship with Ángel, a sensitive newspaper editor.

What's left behind the scenes

Throughout the film, Leo recounts the storylines of his books. One of them tells of a girl who kills her father when he attempts to assault her, and together with her mother hides his body in a restaurant's freezer. This is the plot of the film 'Volver,' which Pedro Almodóvar will film in 2006.
When Leo first meets the character played by Juan Echanove, she lists several female writers, including Dorothy Parker (1893-1967). Later, Paco comes to her and says he has been given a day's leave, but it turns out he was released for only 2 hours. This is the plot of Parker's story “The Vacation.”
