Relationships can be murder.
Written and directed by Pedro Almódovar, High Heels is a murder mystery focussing on the relationship between flamboyant actress Becky del Paramo (Marisa Paredes) and her daughter Rebecca (Victoria Abril), a television anchorwoman.
After being estranged for 15 years, Becky re-enters Rebecca's life when she comes to perform a concert. Rebecca, she finds, is now married to one of Becky's ex-lovers, Judge (Miguel Bose).
As the mother and daughter begin making up for lost time, Judge suddenly turns up dead. But which of the ladies is responsible for the murder? Everything remains unclear, even after one of the two confesses.
