Raimunda (Cruz) and her sister Sole (Lola Duenas) are visited by the apparition ot their mother (Carmen Maura), who has returned to reconcile with her daughters and resolve an issue that has haunted the family since her death. In Pedro Almodovar's film, the living and deceased co-exist without discord, creating a film experience which is at once hilarious and yet filled with a deep genuine emotion.
