line-up, waiting to take a prostitute, where Manuela, looking for a former boyfriend finds another transsexual, a friend Agrado (Antonia San Juan), a prostitute with a lot of problems but with a sincere understanding of life and ability take immense joy out of it. Agrado, 'agreeable' is a heart of the film. She is one of those angels, full of life that, even though with an immense amount of problems of their own, inspire only positive in others.

Manuela learns a bit about Esteban's father, now a prostitute Lola from an HIV positive nun, working in a shelter for battered prostitutes. Huma Rojo appears again, and Manuela gets to work for her, keeping the relationship between her and her drug addict girlfriend and a co-star Nina (Candela Pena) and the show.

Almodovar is moving from his earlier works, where his characters resembled the ones from the cheap pornographic stories, to a little more realistic portraits, still portraying the people outside of conventional, but here they confirm every positive value that exists in life. It is a tribute to families, to mothers everywhere.
