the Fleur of my secrecy ( Flor semi secreto ) is a film of Pedro Almodóvar left in 1995.

Synopsis

Leo Macías is a woman author of mawkish novels which writes under the name of Amanda Gris. But Leo does not manage any more to describe the finer feelingss and its works are increasingly black. Why? Because Paco, her husband, left on mission military to Bosnia, and that she sees her couple little by little disaggregating. Its life then will take a new turning.

The realizer in said: “The Fleur of my secrecy is a film of " goods sentiments" , without that meaning unspecified concession with sentimentalism. I.e., it is about a hard drama. Even if I adore the melodrama, this time I decided for the rigor and the synthesis. Gall instead of honey. Tears which do not relieve but rather which drowns. Authentic pain.”
