Leo Macias is a Spanish writer who pens romance novels under an assumed name. She is successful, but unlucky in her own love life. With her solider husband, Paco, increasingly distant, both literally and figuratively, Leo tries to fill the void in her life by reevaluating her writing. This leads to an unexpected relationship with Angel, a sensitive newspaper editor.

With The Flower of My Secret Almodovar comes as close to making a straightforward soap opera in the grand 1950s Hollywood tradition as the flamboyant director can get. Taking a more tame, emotional tone, the film offers the filmmaker’s unique blend of melodrama, absurdity, compassion and color. A classic in a newly restored copy.
