    Pablo is obsessed with a young lover, Juan, who can't be had; but it is Antonio, a one-night stand replacement for Juan, who teaches Pablo about true obsession when he wakes up the morning after, possessed and possessive. The most florid of over actors -- and the one with the most to teach the relatively mild-mannered Pablo -- is the actress Tina, Pablo's sister, who was his brother until an Oedipal flip flop made him want to be a girl, who wants nothing to do with men. Tina is the magnificent creation of the huskily beautiful Carmen Maura.
