Lorsque la guerre civile éclate en 1936, les garçons d'un pensionnat catholique en territoire républicain sont renvoyés chez eux. Trouvant que l'appartement à Gérone de sa mère, veuve, est réquisitionné et qu'elle est bien loin à La Corogne, il décide de la rejoindre en vélo. Au front d'Aragon, il est arrêté par une unité anarchiste sous le commandant charismatique Davalos et est enrôlé pour aider le cuisinier Honorio, qui poursuit une liaison avec une femme paysanne Pilar. Aussi arrêtés sont un riche Anglais et sa femme américaine, la Condesa, pour qui Andrés agit comme interprète et est récompensé. Ensuite il est envoyé à Barcelone où il entame une liaison avec Julia, la fille vierge de la maison, mais est expulsé juste avant la consommation. Pour vivre, il commence à traiter sur le marché noir et une nuit essaie une prostituée, mais elle est tellement ennuyée qu'en dégoût il la laisse. La guerre terminée, sa mère revient et est mise en place dans un appartement par son amant phalangiste Victor. Au-dessus d'eux vit une femme mariée Marta, qui prête des livres à Andrés et commence une liaison. Mais elle et son mari étaient républicains et sont emmenés par la police secrète. Dans la rue, Andrés rencontre Pilar, la fille du front, et ils passent une nuit ensemble. Lors d'un concert il tombe amoureux d'Irène, belle violoniste italienne, et ils connaissent une brève idylle. La prochaine engagement de son orchestre est dans la zone libre de France et Andrés la rejoint à la gare frontière de Canfranc.Actors

The film begins with a new trainload of Polish Jews arriving for processing at Sobibor. The German Commandant gives them a welcoming speech, assuring the new arrivals that the place is a work camp. Other SS officers move along the assembled lines of prisoners, selecting a small number who have trade skills (such as goldsmiths, seamstresses, shoemakers, and tailors). The remaining prisoners are sent away to a different part of the camp from which a pillar of smoke rises day and night. It is some time before the new prisoners realize Sobibor is a death camp, all of the other Jews are exterminated in gas chambers, and their corpses are cremated in large ovens. The small number of prisoners who are kept alive in the other part of the camp are charged with sorting the belongings taken from those who are murdered and then repairing the shoes, recycling the clothing, and melting down any silver or gold to make jewelry for the SS officers. Despite their usefulness, these surviving prisoners' existence is precarious, and beatings and executions can occur at any time.

Marisa Paredes is Leocadia ("Leo") Macias, a woman writing popular romance novels under the pen name Amanda Gris. Unlike her romantic ("pink") novels, her own love life is troubled. Leo has a difficult relationship with her husband Paco (Imanol Arias), a military officer stationed in Brussels and later in Bosnia, who is distant both physically and emotionally. The film starts with Leo writing about the feeling of having lost her lover, a feeling that she compares to the pain of a tight pair of boots that she can't take off. Almodovar took for this first part of the film strong plot elements from Dorothy Parker's short story The Lovely Leave

Psychiatrist Jack Mickler (Marlon Brando) dissuades a would-be suicide—a 21-year-old, costumed like Zorro and claiming to be Don Juan (Johnny Depp), who is then held for a ten-day review in a mental institution. Mickler, who is about to retire, insists on doing the evaluation and conducts it without medicating the youth. "Don Juan" tells his story—born in Mexico, the death of his father, a year in a harem, and finding true love (and being rejected) on a remote island. Listening enlivens Mickler's relationship with his own wife, Marilyn (Faye Dunaway). As the ten days tick down and pressure mounts on Mickler to support the youth's indefinite confinement, finding reality within the romantic imagination becomes Jack's last professional challenge.

Based on actual events, this film tells the story of the 1939 voyage of the MS St. Louis, which departed from Hamburg carrying 937 Jews from Germany, ostensibly to Havana, Cuba. The passengers, having seen and suffered rising anti-Semitism in Germany, realised this might be their only chance to escape. The film details the emotional journey of the passengers who gradually become aware that their passage was planned as an exercise in propaganda, and that it had never been intended that they disembark in Cuba. Rather, they were to be set up as Pariahs, to set an example before the world. As a Nazi official states in the film, when the whole world has refused to accept them as refugees, no country can blame Germany for the fate of the Jews.
