"Soy Infeliz," a melodramatic heartbreak song plays over the opening credits, representing Pepa's state at the start of the story.
TV actress Pepa Marcos (Carmen Maura) lives in a penthouse apartment with cages of chickens, bunnies, and other animals that she's collected. Her boyfriend Ivan (Fernando Guillén) has just left her, so she is depressed and taking sleeping pills. Both she and Ivan work as voice-over actors who dub foreign films, notably Johnny Guitar with Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden. The voice he uses to sweet-talk her (and many other women) is the same ones he uses in his work. He is about to leave on a trip, probably with another woman, and so has asked Pepa to gather his things in a suitcase he can pick up. Pepa visits the doctor and receives important news, and so she does everything she can to speak with Ivan before he leaves. Pepa even calls his ex-wife Lucia (Julieta Serrano) who appears to be mentally unstable. In anger, Pepa prepares gazpacho, Ivan's favorite soup, and spikes it with about 30 sleeping pills. Pepa then accidentally sets her bed on fire while spitefully lighting a cigarette, even though the doctor told her not to smoke. She leaves a note for Ivan, but then sees Lucia throwing it out, so she gets into a cab and follows her. The cab driver (Guillermo Montesinos) turns out to be an eccentric Mambo-lover with tiger-skin seats, and is a huge fan of Pepa's. They follow Lucia and discover her address. That night on the news, the huge story is that a group of Shiite terrorists has been caught, which freaks out Candela, Pepa's best friend, who now starts frantically calling Pepa. Pepa spends the whole night staking out Lucia's apartment, hoping to find Ivan. Although he doesn't come, she learns something she never knew: Ivan and Lucia have a son, meek and stuttering Carlos (Antonio Banderas).
