In Madrid, the housewife Gloria lives in a tiny apartment with her husband, the taxi driver and forger Antonio; her lunatic mother-in-law, who is addicted in bottled water and cupcakes; and two teenage sons, one of them a drug dealer and the other gay. Gloria works as cleaning lady to raise some money for her dysfunctional family and is addicted in pills; her best friend is her neighbor, the call-girl Cristal.

A writer tries to convince Antonio to forge letters from Hitler and travels to Germany to meet the singer to invite her to participate in the scheme. Meanwhile Gloria delivers her gay son to a pervert dentist. Her mother-in-law finds a lizard while walking with her grandson on the street and they call it Dinero (Money) and bring it home. When Gloria has an argument with Antonio, she hits him on the head with a piece of wood, killing him. Now the police detectives investigate the murder case.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeIt's all a lot like early period John Waters -- only better acted and set in Madrid.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyAlmodovar's fourth feature (but the first to be released in the US) may be one of his most realistic films, an offbeat, darkly humorous feminist comedy with a great performance by Carmen Maura.
Lessons of Darkness - 8/10 by Nick SchagerA somewhat harsh critique of a Spanish culture that dooms women to indentured servitude.
The Spectator - 7/10 by Hilary MantelWhen Almodóvar attempts a plot the film becomes tedious.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrDiverting, with a light suggestion of talent.
User Review - 10/10 by Laurence SLoved his films for ages but some how missed this one, saw it the other night and laughed my head off-Fantastic!
User Review - 10/10 by Tom Athis is for me the best movie of pedro almodovar...carmen maura is fantastic in her role of "desperate housewife"..this is pure almodovar!
User Review - 10/10 by Xavier dListen. This is my favourite Almodovar movie. Absurd, colorful, strangely moving and sweet. Definitely underrated, but more of that, unknown. A neglected masterpiece, see it!
User Review - 10/10 by Yvonne EI am big Almodovar fan! I really enjoyed this.
User Review - 10/10 by Sisco Done of the best of almo' I feel extremely bad when Gloria has to stand such a dog's life (slot husband in love of a German bitch singer, a couple of chav children, a tight with money mother-in-law and working in and out) it's not a fair life, but Gloria will survive. and that's what I like from this movie, how a woman-loosing mostly everything-can find a reason for living (her son).
