CGiii Comment
Lesbians in the Franco's Spain - you just know it's not going to be a happy story.
Institutionalisation and electroshock therapy - and it's not subtle.
It's a TV movie with cheap production values - a sledgehammer on the kneecap sort of approach.
But...it certainly drives home the message.
And, for those with a softer heart - you'll be blubbing by the end.
Not bad at all.

The(ir) Blurb...
