Synopsis:

Every woman has a secret... Spain's high priest of hip returns with a brilliant combination of his familiar stylized comedy and a new departure into full-blooded melodrama. Leo leads a secret double life as an author or romantic fiction. However her success as the best-selling Amanda Gris hasn't brought her happiness and things are getting worse. Her husband doesn't love her, her best friend is strangely distracted and her mother and sister are too busy bickering to notice that anything's wrong. Abandoned by her muse and seeking solace in the bottle since the collapse of her marriage, and unlikely rescuer sets her on a collision course to a new emotional entanglement.

From Spanish director Pedro Almodуvar (Live Flesh, All About My Mother) comes this offbeat drama about Leo Macнas (Marisa Paredes), a romance novelist who writes her trashy tomes under the pseudonym Amanda Gris. When her marriage begins to dissolve, Leo finds herself falling into despair, leading her to drink and lose her knack for writing her tawdry tales. Out of her turmoil, she writes a bleak novel that garners no attention. To make matters worse, Бngel (Juan Echanove), a newspaper editor with a romantic interest in Leo, hires her to write a scathing review of Amanda Gris, not realizing Gris is Leo's nom de plume. Nominated for several Goya awards, La Flor de Mi Secreto also stars Carmen Elнas and Rossy de Palma.

Leo Macias writes sentimental novels with great success but hidden under a pseudonym, Amanda Gris. She is unhappy with her professional life and with her husband, a soldier working in Brussels and Bosnia that is never at home. She will try anything to change her life.
