This compassionate, sprawling melodrama follows Manuela after the death of her 17 year-old son Esteban. She sets out in search of Esteban's father, now a trans woman named Lola, who is sick with AIDS. It's the kind of film only Almodóvar can make, lurid and lovely and memorable.
Following the tragic death of her teenage son, Manuela travels from Madrid to Barcelona in an attempt to contact the long-estranged father the boy never knew. She reunites with an old friend, an outspoken transgender sex worker, and befriends a troubled actress and a pregnant, HIV-positive nun.

An early horror classic, this tale of monstrously-repressed female desire has attracted a growing scholarly attention as Queer-coded. The film's central conceit, of a woman who cannot consummate her marriage for fear of an ancient monster emerging, can carry many Queer readings.
Serbian fashion designer Irena Dubrovna and American marine engineer Oliver Reed meet in Central Park, fall in love and marry after a brief courtship; but Irena won’t consummate the union for fear that she will turn into a panther compelled to kill her lover, pursuant to a belief harbored by her home village.
