Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Almodóvar shot this in just six weeks with a minuscule budget, forcing him to use real Madrid locations including an actual convent.
This was Almodóvar's first collaboration with Carmen Maura, though she only appears briefly; he would later call it his 'transitional film' between underground and mainstream.
