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

In the near future war rages across the fictional Republic of Gilead and pollution has rendered 99% of the population sterile. Kate is a woman attempting to emigrate to Canada with her husband and daughter. While attempting to take a dirt road, they are caught by the Gilead Border Guard, who orders them to turn back or they will open fire. Kate's husband uses an automatic rifle to draw the fire, telling Kate to run, but he gets shot, Kate gets captured, whilst their daughter wanders off into the backcountry confused and unaccompanied. The authorities take Kate to a training facility with several other women, where they are all trained to become a Handmaid, a concubine for one of the privileged but barren couples who rule the country's religious fundamentalist regime. Although she resists being indoctrinated into the cult of the Handmaids, mixing Old Testament orthodoxy and misogyny with 12-step gospel and ritualized violence, Kate is soon assigned to the home of the Commander and his cold, inflexible wife, Serena Joy. There she is renamed "Offred" - "of Fred".

The young d'Artagnan arrives in Paris with dreams of becoming a king's musketeer. Quite unused to the city life, he makes a number of clumsy faux-pas. First he finds himself insulted, knocked out and robbed by the Comte de Rochefort, an agent of Cardinal Richelieu, and once in Paris comes into conflict with three musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, each of whom challenges him to a duel for some accidental insult or embarrassment. As the first of these duels is about to begin, Jussac arrives with five additional swordsmen of Cardinal Richelieu's guards. D'Artagnan sides with the musketeers in the ensuing street fight and becomes their ally in opposition to the Cardinal, who wishes to increase his already considerable power over the king. D'Artagnan also begins an affair with his landlord's wife, Constance Bonacieux, who is the Queen's dressmaker.

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

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.
