"'Delicious! Funny! Almodovar returns to the comedy of his earlier, best work." - Caryn James, NEW YORK TIMES

"Provocative and Sophisticated! A ray of sunshine in the otherwise bleak time of the year." - Jeffrey Lyons, SNEAK PREVIEWS




THE FLOWER OF MY SECRET is the new film from Pedro Almodovar, Spanish director of such avant garde hits as WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and HIGH HEELS. Leo (Marisa Paredes) is a bestselling author of romantic fiction, but has been writing under a pseudonym name for years. Now in the middle of her life, Leo has reached a creative and emotional crisis. Tired of producing popular fiction when her heart yearns to write truly great literature, her very success has become a burden to her; unable to accept that her marriage to Paco (Imanol Arias) is rapidly disintegrating, Leo finds herself at a crossroads in her life. Even Leo's mother and sister can offer no consolation as they constantly bicker with one another. The one ray of hope in Leo's life comes from Angel (Juan Echanove), the editor of the newspaper EL PAIS, who offers her a job as a critic for a national arts supplement. Leo's first assignment brings her face to face with her alter-ego causing an examination of her true identity, her deepest motivations and, most importantly, the direction of her life after Paco.
