Plot
In LABYRINTH OF PASSION, Celia Roth portrays Sexilia, a nymphomaniac punk rocker whose gynecologist father (Fernando Vivanco) specializes in artificial insemination. Spanish heartthrob Imanol Arias is Riza Niro, the gay son of the Emperor of Tehran, who has fled his father's island exile to have some fun in Madrid. The two meet and eventually fall in love, but that's just the tip of the iceberg in this whirlwind, crazed-out comedy.

Labyrinth of Passion is Almodóvar's second film, but already he shows undeniable genius for mixing layered storylines and touching characterizations with fearlessly transgressive eroticism. Homosexuality, orgies, drugs, incest, and drag queens--Almodóvar embraces them all. Labyrinth of Passion is a cult favorite in Spain and a Classic. The film features star actors Celia Roth (All About My Mother), Antonio Banderas (first time performance) and Pedro Almodovar himself among others.  Labyrinth of Passion is a must for anyone remotely interested in Almodovar!
