UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
或許這不是阿莫多瓦最平易近人，亦或是最具娛樂性，最具享樂主義、爭議的一部作品；卻是阿莫多瓦隱匿最深，久久才觸碰的問題。誠如這位導演對於祖國的強烈批評；西班牙永遠選擇站在歷史的錯誤面。與其形容是借題發揮，倒不如說是阿莫多瓦運用擅長的二元對立；藉由兩位母親彼此間陰錯陽差的遭遇，終究難逃共同背負與面對命運的勇氣，一如這部作品最初與最終所闡述的歷史。可以選擇繼續隱匿或淡忘，當然也可以選擇擁抱與面對真相！
20220308三八节特别观看，感觉是两个完全不相关的主题生拼硬凑出来的，所要讲的主题也是模糊不清，不明白为什么要这么设置，内容太割裂了。不过对两位母亲的刻画塑造上还是非常不错的，克鲁兹的表演也值得提名最佳女主。
"要着眼于未来，不然就只是不停的揭开旧伤疤罢了。"
赞成厚重的东西轻轻地说，但前后割裂得太明显，感觉是没有准备得当就开拍了。男人随着历史被埋葬隐形，女人在传承在面对。“历史永远不会沉默。不论他们如何诋毁、篡改、伪造，人类的历史都拒绝保持沉默。”
阿莫多瓦的电影再次说明，母系氏族一起养育孩子才是人类社会的出路
用120m去了解一个人的苦难，很痛苦，但幸好，她活了过来；色彩就肯定是阿莫多瓦啦！人物所做的一系列举动看似不符合常理，但这就是阿莫多瓦的故事啦！
女权，同性，再加上历史遗留问题，阿莫多瓦玩得有点大了，以至于最后烂尾。
#阿莫多瓦
佩内洛普是不是有点罗圈腿？西方人好容易吐哦 很多电影剧都有人物受到惊吓刺激就跑去吐的场景。两位女主的感情变化好生硬 像多个片段拼在一起的成品。不了解西班牙这段历史 所以不太懂。最后5分钟挖掘这段历史，那女主和女二的滚床单是体现？女主和考古家滚床单是体现？两个报错的孩子是寓意？虽然这段历史不能被忘记 但这个故事和这段历史的联系着实牵强了吧。看完影评 还是get不到。
年度十佳备选。依然是阿莫多瓦的艺术品，强饱和度的色彩和配乐，隐忍的强烈的情感。平行的不只是作为主人公的两个母亲，是一代又一代的母亲，使历史不会沉默。
是一部好看的片子。一开始觉得国家历史叙事和两位母亲之间的“错杂”叙事是割裂的，后来想想，题名平行的“母亲”是否不仅指两位命运偶然交叉、情感关系相互纠缠的女性，也指作为具体历史个体的母亲和抽象宏大的祖国“母亲”？在最后一个镜头里，掘墓人以受害者的姿势躺在墓穴中，隐喻着打捞集体记忆的当代个体与家国历史“休戚与共”始终“平行”共存，个体是无法、也不该抛开国族苦难“轻装前行”的。因此，就像两位母亲的纠葛以dna的血缘序列为纽结，历史烙印与生物性一样难以磨灭和修改。不过，如果阿莫多瓦将这两条线的互动串得更好些，或许可以讲出更深的内容。
即使说出真相是一件痛苦的事，但仍然应该勇于面对，只有这样才能真正前行。看似两条完全不相干的情感线其实说的是同一个理念
3.5 前一小时半一直四星来着，落脚点太奇怪了
探讨了我们对待新生与死亡应该有的同等的尊重的态度。新生体现了对希望的崇尚，死亡体现了对历史的尊重。新生部分看似占据了绝大部分剧情，而且含有着狸猫换太子的狗血剧情，但是对历史和祖先的追寻贯穿始终。前后的剧情存在的割裂，由对祖先的缅怀而变得云淡风轻。
阿莫多瓦用几个母亲的身份审视女人们破裂/修复/重生的过程，又以发掘骸骨的事件相辅，以此来展现国家曾经的疮疤，提出铭记历史正视历史来使国家获得重生的观点。
其实是真实永远无法沉默，存在永远无法篡改，事实无法回避。我们都有来处，这个来处是永恒存在。不管是真实的战争之后，还是生活的残垣之下。三个母亲，其实就是母亲的三个面：慌乱受伤、坚韧肯定、自由意志。面对孩子，面对男人，面对家人，面对历史的存在，她们复杂但寻求。阿莫多瓦太还是那双平行的眼👏平行地注视着女人。
用120m去了解一个人的苦难，很痛苦，但幸好，她活了过来；色彩就肯定是阿莫多瓦啦！人物所做的一系列举动看似不符合常理，但这就是阿莫多瓦的故事啦！
有点电视剧的那种质感。
2.亲生的被抱错后死了，知道后没下文。
搞不懂后面为什么会和佛朗哥还有长枪党扯上关系
