Talk to Her is a Spanish drama film directed by Pedro Almodóvar. The story revolves around two men, Benigno Martin (played by Javier Cámara) and Marco Zuloaga (played by Darío Grandinetti), who develop an unlikely friendship while caring for two women who are both in deep comas.
Benigno is a nurse who is devoted to taking care of Alicia (played by Leonor Watling), a ballerina who is in a coma after an accident. Marco is a writer and travel journalist who is taking care of Lydia (played by Rosario Flores), a bullfighter who is also in a coma.
As the two men spend more time together in the hospital, they begin to share their personal stories and struggles. Benigno reveals that he became fascinated with Alicia after watching her perform, and began to stalk her before her accident. Marco, on the other hand, is still haunted by the memory of his ex-girlfriend, who was also a bullfighter and died in the ring.
As the film progresses, a twist is revealed: Benigno was actually responsible for putting Alicia in the coma, as he had given her a tranquilizer before the accident. Despite this revelation, Marco continues to visit Benigno in prison and the two men maintain their friendship.
Talk to Her is a poignant exploration of love, friendship, and the power of human connection in the face of tragedy and loss. The film received critical acclaim upon its release, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and numerous other awards.
