Fiery and luscious Senorita Silvia (Penelope Cruz) becomes pregnant to village Mummy's boy Jose, (Jordi Mulla) whose family owwns the local underwear factory. Silvia's father has left town and her mother Carmen (Anne Galiena) is forced to become the town prostitute.

Jose's overbearing mother Conchita (Stefania Sandrelli) fears her son will marry the daughter of a scarley woman and takes action... she hires sexy, young Raul, (Javier Bardem) who works in the ham-factory (& enjoys nude bullfighting) to seduce Silvia.

That's when the passion and fun really heats up. A sensuous comedy that uses food as a sexual metaphor where breasts taste of ham and where a duel to the death is with a side of bacon!
