HIGH HEELS A Tribute to CIBY 2000: Secrets and No Lies

Aging pop star Becky Del Paramo returns
to Madrid after 15 years to perform and,
in passing, to resolve her relationship with
the daughter she abandoned as a little girl
in favor of her .career. When she meets
Rebecca’s new husband, it turns out to be
Manuel, Becky’s former lover who
Rebecca married without revealing her
mother’s true identity. Becky soon discovers
that her daughter’s marriage is a total
failure. Manuel tries to revive their old love
affair but Becky refuses … at first. When
Manuel is suddenly found murdered in his
country house after a reported series of
visits from three different women-one of
whom he made love with, another who
broke off their relationship and a third
who found him dead-furies are
unleashed, amorous passions are ignited
and social and sexual mores are upended
as a frenzied search for truth and justice
ensues. -Production notes
