Week 4: High Heels (1991)

"According to the coroner, don Manuel Sancho died between 9 and 11 pm. During this time, three women visited him: with one he made love, with another he argued, and the third found him dead."
In High Heels, Victoria Abril (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!) returns as Rebecca, a successful newscaster who tries to welcome her mother back into her life after years of estrangement. Her mother, Becky (played by Marisa Paredes), is a famous singer who puts her career before everyone else (including her daughter). Upon her return, Becky is introduced to her daughter's husband, Manuel. Becky has simply heard news of the wedding and has no idea who Manuel is . . . or so she thinks.
