In this Pedro Almodóvar film, a singer at a low-end nightclub hides
out at a convent after her lover dies of a bad dose of drugs, and she
meets a group of off-the-wall nuns while in hiding. The nuns range from
one who writes sensationalist pulp fiction under a pseudonym to another
who takes drugs, and another hooked on masochism. But their private
lives and perverse foibles may be in jeopardy when a new mother superior
arrives to take charge of the convent.
