In the performance of his career, Antonio Banderas plays an ageing film director with a creative block who searches in his memories and dreams for the inspiration and desire he lost. With powerful restraint, rich cinematography and his signature sense of colors, Almodóvar blurs the line between art and life in a film about memory, mothers, lovers, creation, and the passion of filmmaking. Finding answers in the power of art, his character "takes the messiness, the vibrancy and the sensuous pleasures of life as he remembers it and turns his pain into glory" (The New York Times).
