The lines between fact, fiction and friendship begin to blur in this rich melodrama from Spanish master Pedro Almodovar.

Raúl is a cult filmmaker in the midst of a creative crisis. When tragedy strikes one of his closest collaborators, he draws inspiration from it to write his next film. Little by little, he imagines Elsa, a filmmaker in the midst of writing a script, whose journey begins to mirror his own. The two filmmakers become two sides of the same character, in a game of mirrors where the raw honesty of auto fiction reveals as much as it destroys. But how far can one go to tell a story?
