When Pepa Marcos’ (Carmen Maura) lover Ivan (Fernando Guillén) suddenly leaves her without any explanation, she embarks on a strange journey to discover why. On the way, she meets a variety of eccentric characters, including Ivan’s son from a previous relationship (Antonio Banderas), his fiancee Marissa (Rossy de Palma), and a Shiite terrorist cell who has been secretly holding her best friend Candela (María Barranco) hostage. It’s a film noir take on the romantic comedy.
