Dunkla drifter En nattklubbssångerska vid namn Yolanda sjunger på en sjaskig nattklubb. När hennes pojkvän dör av en överdos fruktar hon polisen och tar sig till en annorlunda tillflyktsort - hon gömmer sig bland nunnor i Madrid. Dessa annorlunda nunnor inkluderar en abbedissa som älskar Yolanda, en som skriver romantiska noveller, en som tämjer en tiger och en som designar fantastiska kläder och är kär i den lokala prästen. De planerar en extravagant kväll för att fira abbedissans födelsedag och för att övertyga sin beskyddare att inte lämna dem. Directed by Pedro Almodóvar, Dark Habits (1983) is a Spanish black comedy about a nightclub singer who hides in a convent populated by eccentric nuns with unusual obsessions and secret lives. Blending satire, melodrama and provocative religious themes, the film became one of Almodóvars defining early works during Spains post-Franco cultural movement. The film mixes irreverent humor, emotional instability and transgressive storytelling with the directors distinctive visual style.
