Description
Summary:	In 1970 in Franco's Madrid, a prostitute (Penelope Cruz) gives birth to a son, Victor. The story leaps forward to contemporary Madrid. Wealthy diplomat's daughter Elena (Francesca Neri), waiting for the arrival of her heroin dealer, accidentally buzzes pizza delivery man Victor (Liberto Rabal) into the building. In the confusion that follows, two cops, David (Javier Bardem) and Sancho (Jose Sancho) arrive, and a gun goes off. Four years later, Victor is in prison, while Elena, no longer on drugs, runs a disadvantaged children's shelter and is married to wheelchair-bound David. After his release, Victor visits his mother's grave and spots David and Elena at the cemetery, where David meets philandering wife Clara (Angela Molina). Fate interweaves the tangled interrelationships of all into a complex tapestry of destiny and guilt--allmovieguide.com.
