Synopsis

Just as New York City was the backdrop in Woody Allen's 'Manhattan,' the stunning city of Barcelona is the setting for the romantic adventures of Vicky and Cristina.

These two young Americans spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist (Javier Bardem) and his beautiful but insane ex-wife (Penelope Cruz). Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results can only be described as chaotic.
