Summaries

A television actress encounters a variety of eccentric characters after embarking on a journey to discover why her lover abruptly left her.

Pepa's lover, Iván, leaves her and she tries to contact him to find out why he's left. In her search for Iván, she confronts his wife and son, who are as clueless as she is. Meanwhile, Candela, her friend, is afraid the police might be looking for her because of her ex-boyfriend, a muslim terrorist, and his criminal activities. As the plot develops, it is revealed that everyone's lives are more intertwined than they could have ever expected.—Ed Sutton <[email protected]>

High atop a posh Spanish penthouse, three women have had it: Pepa teeters around on stilettos as she obsesses over Iván, the lover who just jilted her by answering machine; her neurotic best friend Candela seeks refuge at Pepa's place because she recently realised her lover is a terrorist; and Iván's ex-wife Lucía was just released from a 20-year stint in a mental institution. One of them is about to commit murder unless the others can stop her.
