Filmmaker Enrique (Fele Martínez) gets a visit from an aspiring actor claiming to be his old school friend Ignacio (Gael Garcia Bernal, THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN), who has written a story about their traumatic childhood spent at Catholic school. In the story, a drag performer known as Zahara (also played by Bernal) attempts to blackmail a predatory priest by exposing their scandalous past. The tale provides the inspiration for Enrique¹s next film. But when the villainous priest from their school days arrives on to tell his own version of the events, the truth is wilder than anything anyone could have imagined! Peter Travers of Rolling Stone raves, "Gael Garcia Bernal is dynamite!" and calls the film "a rapturous masterwork!"

Adoro Almodovar e l'idea di un film che mettesse in mostra anche le bassezze dei rappresentanti di Dio sulla terra mi aveva lasciato molte aspettative, ma il film mi ha lasciata senza niente.
Almodovar lavora meglio con le donne, quando ci sono uomini nel suo film tende sempre a massacrarli senza pietà, come succede qui dove tira fuori il peggio.
Ehm, nota a margine, il protagonista è un bel vedere!
