Tacones lejanos

Tacones Lejanos (High Heels) is a 1991 Spanish film, written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, starring Marisa Paredes and Victoria Abril. As with many Almodóvar films, it is difficult to pin down to a convenient genre, varying between a drama and a thriller and making use of surrealism, farce and comedy.

The plot involves a mother (played by Marisa Paredes) and her daughter (Victoria Abril), and a strange murder committed by Abril and caused by her possessive mother.
