In this film Bigas Luna found his style of absurd, comic sex drama. Silvia is dating Jose Luis the nerdy inheritor of an underwear company. His love-starved mother sends Raul the underwear model to woo Silvia but falls herself to his charms while Jose Luis frequents the bordello owned by Silvia's mother. It ends with a mortal duel with dried hams. Full of outrageously sexual images, oozing with sensuality, very beautifully photographed.
