Two girlfriends, Vicky (Hall) and Cristina (Johansson) are young Americans spending a summer in Barcelona, Spain who meet Juan Antonio (Bardem), a charming artist. Both women become enamored with the painter, unaware that his beautiful but volatile ex-wife Maria Elena (Cruz), with whom he has a tempestuous relationship, is about to re-enter the picture. After they all become romantically entangled, Christina moves in with Juan and Maria, but the sexual freedom becomes too much and the two girlfriends end up where they began, one choosing to live her planned, perceived ideal life and the other to live with no plans for life. Penelope Cruz won an Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actress in this picture. (Gay Reber)
