The film weaves between past and present, dream and reality, and even includes a silent black-and-white film-within-a-film, "The Shrinking Lover," a bizarre, metatextual sequence that becomes the film's most controversial and debated element. Through flashbacks, we see the delicate beginnings of Marco and Lydia's relationship and, more disturbingly, Benigno’s obsessive, clandestine "courtship" of the unconscious Alicia, which ultimately culminates in a shocking act that upends everything.
