"Hilarious, irreverent fun..." - V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Academy Award winner Pedro Almodovar's irreverent and biting comedy focuses on Yolanda (Cristina S. Pascual), a nightclub singer and junkie. When her boyfriend accidentally dies from a drug overdose, she decides it is better to hide out than face the cops who are looking for her. She winds up at a convent that specializes in saving women from the street. However, this is not your average group of nuns... the off-beat sisters include a heroin using abbess who is in love with Yolanda, a soft-core romance novelist and another who is raising tigers in the convent yard. When the nuns face the possibility of their convent closing, they throw a final and extravagant party starring Yolanda to try to persuade their wealthy patron not to abandon them.
