A romantic farce that mocks Spanish social conventions and class relations. Conchita, the status-conscious wife of a wealthy factory owner, is none too happy to hear that her ne'er-do-well son is bedding the luscious Silvia, daughter of the town prostitute--especially as the girl's mother once had an affair with Conchita's husband. So Conchita concocts a scheme to end the relationship: she hires Raúl, the town hunk, to seduce Silvia. But even the best-laid plans can go awry, and a comic roundelay begins when Raúl actually falls for Silvia and Conchita falls for Raúl. It's not long before Raúl is bedding both women... and a confrontation is on its way. Winner of the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
