Live Flesh

At the beginning of the second, more mature phase of his career, Pedro Almodóvar abandons the farcical excesses of his early years in favor of a darker, more disciplined narrative that masterfully explores how past actions leave indelible marks on both body and conscience.

Synopsis

Against the backdrop of a constantly changing Madrid, a chance incident sets off a chain reaction in the lives of four people whose paths intersect through love, crippled desires, and moral dead ends.
