Talk to whom?

I just came back from watching a movie with two of the lobsters' friends. The plot is very fitting to our current endeavor, Skinny Bunny and me.

Alicia is a young woman who eats very little and goes to a clinic. She is treated by a professional nurse, Benigno, who is slightly overweight. Marco's girlfriend suffers from the same condition and is treated at the same clinic. Benigno and Marco become friends, but never have lunch or dinner together. Marco and Lydia break up over an argument about Valencia squid -- is it prepared 'a la plancha' or roasted? Marco leaves Spain to write another of his famous culinary guides, about the cuisine of Jordan. In the meanwhile, Benigno watches a movie about a scientist who invents a formula to lose weight. He tells Alicia about it, who eats healthily everafter.

In case you want to see it: it's called 'Talk to her' by Pedro Almodovar.
