Movie description:
The film is a slice of a housewife’s life in 80’s Madrid. Gloria lives in a small and cheap apartment with husband and two children: the declared homosexual Miguel (12), who she sells to the dentist and the cocaine pusher Toni (14). Her husband, Antonio, longs for a German woman he chauffeured around Germany before he married Gloria. Gloria’s mother-in-law, a frugal and unhappy woman who hides her magdalena cakes and desperately wants to move back to the country, is another addition to the poor woman’s struggle. Crystal, a prostitute who lives next door, is Gloria’s best friend and provides one of the few rays of sunshine in Gloria’s life.
A dysfunctional family in Madrid: Gloria is a cleaning lady, hooked on No-Doze, living in a crowded flat with Antonio, her surly husband, a cabby who adores an aging German singer he used to chauffeur; he’s also a forger. One teen son sells heroin, the other sleeps with men. Her mother-in-law keeps bottled water and cupcakes under lock and key, selling them to the family. Two alcoholic writers cook up a plot to sell a manuscript as Hitler’s memoirs, if Antonio will transcribe it in Hitler’s hand. He agrees, so they ask the German singer to play the role of the original owner since her past affinity for Nazi memorabilia makes her a likely candidate. Meanwhile, Gloria has given away one son to a sex-crazed dentist, and grandma picks up a pet lizard. Can this chaos be tamed?
