Emotional distance is the space of trust

Almodovar's "High Heels", shocking, indescribable love. The suspense of the story and the complex family relationship between mother and daughter.
As a child, Lei Beijia replaced her father's common medicine with sleeping pills in order to allow her mother to leave her father and perform abroad with peace of mind.
When the mother returned eighteen years ago, she saw that the object of her daughter's marriage was actually the lover she had been forced to leave.
So the story falls into a triangle, and suspicion begins to replace trust. Unable to tolerate that she is inferior to her mother in everything, and her only husband is also her mother's product, Lei Beijia finally lost control of her emotions and shot her husband to death.
Before, Lei Beijia went out and met a "soul girl" who played a shemale; the latter made her begin to deny her love for her husband, which she herself could not accept.
The death of her husband led to a lawsuit, and a judge always dealt with it. The end of the story is: after deceiving her daughter, the seriously ill mother bravely insisted that the murder was her own doing, and made up for her long-term debt to her daughter.
At the end, I also learned that the "Soul Girl" is actually the same person as the judge, but she dressed up as an undercover agent. I can't help thinking, are these things directed by my mother to atone for my soul? ?
The suspense of the story is very enjoyable, and the feelings of the actors are also illusory. Perhaps, Almodovar turned the subconscious things in reality into reality and showed them to everyone, so it was shocking...
ps: what to do Pay to confirm that you care? What do you care about? Will you really get it? Only when we understand the distance of feelings is the space of trust; true trust can measure feelings.

    Almodóvar's work of Latin passion, with twists and turns, is highly entertaining. Borrowing the female symbol of the image of "high heels", the complex relationship between mother and daughter that has been entangled for many years is fully exposed.

    Almodovar's soundtrack talent is similar to that of Wong Kar-Wai! Did Wong Kar-Wai always copy Almodovar's?
