UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
就喜欢看阿莫多瓦的女性电影。故事依旧很有吸引力。还融入了LGBT元素。没想到的是，电影的重点不在于阴差阳错下的平行母亲的身份互换，而在于最后对于那些在战争中逝去的同胞们的缅怀，这些长眠于地下的英雄不应被人们遗忘，多了一份历史的沉重记忆与厚重之感。佩内洛普·克鲁兹的脸上多了一份岁月的痕迹，但不妨碍她身上散发的独特气质与美感，还是阿莫多瓦最能拍出她身上的女性之美。
老导演保持活力的数伍迪艾伦和老雷，老马丁次之，阿莫多瓦再次之。
没办法把遗址挖掘和成为母亲这两件事联系起来
这不是阿莫多瓦最好的电影，表现形式和戏剧性上都不够冲突，尽管一转再转。弗朗哥专政的黑暗历史不会被忘记，知晓历史而明白自己该做出什么样的选择，直击性侵、多元家庭话题，也是本片的亮点。
看到影片五分之四，越发感到挖掘古迹一线和婴儿纠葛一线的割裂，直到最后十分钟，才对其中想要表达的议题有了模糊的理解，但也只是浅层又浮于表面的理解。一个民族的集体意识中有对错误历史的纠正与追奠，也有不期的新生将希望延续。再一次感慨，阿莫多瓦所塑造的女性形象（包括具有女性特质的男性形象）身上都有一种共通的母性，这种感情凌驾于他所展示的各种感情之上。
阿莫多瓦和佩妮洛普克鲁兹就算是拍金牌调解中央八套小时代我也爱得下去
Penélope真的太美了，美到一切发生在她身上的故事都带着滤镜
history will not shut it's mouth
努力寻找战争对上辈人创伤的过去、初为人母却父亲缺失的当下与对腹中新生儿期待的未来，用时间线索一一连接了起来。对于历史的反思性在本片里稍显生硬但份量很重，最喜欢的还是两位母亲在一起的故事以及她们都有着原生家庭里的不幸，父母辈失败了婚姻总是影响着自己，自己又把这种家庭的不幸传递给下一代。色彩构图依旧是阿莫多瓦轻盈多彩的风格，对于母亲的赞歌整体不如《我的母亲》那般深刻。
3.5 前一小时半一直四星来着，落脚点太奇怪了
其实Ana和Janis端着酒并排坐在沙发上的那个时刻就够了，唱机在放爵士，她们在看墙上曾祖母人像，我在看她们。于是眼睛就成了婴儿监视器、相机快门和摄像机镜头，很难从中轻而易举的就分离出黑白。
Ana的自我探索完成在生育之後的每一個核心正中我點，對生育以及性向的探索太Almodóvar式的feminism了
更喜欢Almodovar 的上一部《Dolor y Gloria 》 。
其实电影还可以 就是抱错孩子的戏码看得太多了 最后的结局也是意料之中
母子关系轻得像里面的伴侣关系一样 也是可投入也可随时停止的 充满了重新定义 不再有人为任何结果感到抱歉 又是全善的 这也太过超前了 至少我还不是这个阶段的人类
最让我感动的是 那个拿着摇铃的父亲 在陪孩子玩时被带走 他死的时候一定紧紧握着摇铃 想着自己的孩子 西班牙政府在这件事上真的干的挺不是人事的 自己国家公民没有尊严的被乱葬 之后也不给他们重新安葬 但就像影片最后说的历史不会被遗忘
Penélope真的太美了，美到一切发生在她身上的故事都带着滤镜
镜头和开门场景还是熟悉的配方，是那个独树一帜的阿莫多瓦，这个故事就没那么有魔力了，特别是关于女主想挖掘乱葬岗真相的穿插完全就像俩个故事，分开叙述反而更好吧。染了头发后的Ana实在太帅了，佩内洛普克鲁兹发挥依然稳定，这个略狗血的掉包故事也在阿莫多瓦风格的加持下没那么俗套了。Ana母亲的那场戏中小剧场以及和janis的对话到时记忆深刻，毕竟运镜和感染力是喜欢阿莫多瓦电影的主因，这俩个片段就很好的诠释了这一点。
看起来狗血奇情的故事“平行”的是另一段隐匿的历史。暴力的遗产成为自身中的他者，又与断裂的亲缘有着相似性。快门按下，拍下时尚的包装和过去的骸骨，新生的错位与故去的还原。从口腔探究生之脉络，就如挖开地表寻觅死之秘密。
阿莫多瓦是想拍的拍完了，开始关注国家了，完全是硬加政治线
