Mathieu, a rich, ageing man played brilliantly by Fernando Rey, falls in love with Conchita, an elusive young woman played in turn by two actresses with opposite charms: Carole Bouquet and Ángela Molina.
Buñuel blurs the lines and plays with appearances, revealing the full complexity of desire and the illusions it nourishes. Through a series of flashbacks to this relationship made up of frustrations, manipulations and power games, the Spanish surrealist filmmaker dismantles the conventions of love and relationships between men and women. Nearly 50 years after its release, the film retains all its force and continues to raise questions: what does the prism of fantasy reveal about relationships between women and men - and, in a deeper sense, about ourselves?
