Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Pepa resolves to kill herself with a batch of sleeping-pill-laced gazpacho after her lover leaves her. Fortunately, she is interrupted by a deliciously chaotic series of events.

A Spanish film by Pedro Almodóvar, 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' is an independent production within Spain's film industry, though Almodóvar's later success with international distribution of his films may make this seem less independent in the global context.
