This early Almodóvar film is about a runaway cabaret singer/drug dealer hiding with a convent of odd nuns. One takes LSD and cares for a tiger, another writes dirty novels, another falls in love with the singer, only to have her heart broken. While the story kinda meanders, the sets, costumes, odd characters and overall attitude are enough to keep you involved.
