Francesca Neri: Liberto Rabal
built 606 days ago
A young pizza delivery man, Victor (Liberto Rabal) is trying to seduce the beautiful but feisty Elena (Francesca Neri), whom he met a few days ago in a nightclub and with whom he had a fumbled quickie in the toilet. But she was drunk then and doesn’t want to know about him now. Elena is expecting her drug delivery man, and wants Victor out, but he wants to stay, so there is a scene. A neighbour reports the ruckus and two cops, young David (Javier Bardem) and older Sancho (Jose Sancho), arrive. With everyone edgy, the situation gets heated and Elena’s gun (her father’s) goes off…David is hit. Four years later David is wheelchair-bound but the star of a disabled basketball team, married to Elena.
IN PEDRO Almodovar's "Live Flesh," Victor (Liberto Rabal) is a leather-jacketed kid looking for trouble, and he finds it in the form of Elena (Francesca Neri). They've had a passing sexual encounter; she thinks nothing of it but he's in love. When he comes to see her again she tries to get rid of him. The cops arrive to break up the conflict.
