Pedro Almodóvar's twenty-second film represents a large autobiographical fresco of the life of the Spanish director.
Almodóvar himself claimed, during the presentation of the film at the Cannes Film Festival, the film is 100% the result of emotions experienced and felt.
Almodóvar completely immerses the protagonist of the film, Salvador Mallo, played by Antonio Banderas, in what were his real life experiences.
