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.
整部电影被政治这个不必要的元素割裂开，越到后面越乏味，甚至连阿莫多瓦电影中的优点（塑造母亲和女性形象）都没有展现出来，本来在孩子这条线上一贯展现着阿莫多瓦片子的娱乐性。但后面开始大面积讲诉政治，这条线就被和稀泥一样过去。
7/10，大屠杀和经典女同多角恋故事的融合非常生硬，导致二者都处在高不成低不就的尴尬地位。
这政治寓意让我看的实在费解 整个剧情就很扭曲
未断代的母系史与以母性为线索的对历史与未来的双向追溯，如果减轻对历史与血缘的反复强调会更加完美。
对阿莫多瓦来说 其实也就是随便拍拍的程度 女性主导的视角 酷儿元素 大开大合的情节剧 并通过家族中女性的一种血脉延续来反观国家的历史变迁 主动挖掘泥土下被刻意掩埋的伤痛之后 代际间割裂的时空被打通 吊唁才因此有了具象化的实体 主线与支线的联系做得再紧密一点会更好
没有乱葬岗的故事线看着会更顺畅一点吧，最后的拔高也太突兀了
不同于是枝裕和的《如父如子》，影片在讲述女性的情感之外，还有对历史沉重的剖析和反思。所谓“平行母亲”，一为当下的詹尼斯与安娜这种个体式、原子式的母亲（mother），一为过往的凸显西班牙内战历史的宏大视角的祖国母亲（Mother）。
7 两名年龄差距甚大的母亲，因为抱错小孩产生的纠葛其实也是为了引出历史问题，反思当代西班牙年轻人对历史的知之甚少，讽刺政府。整体结构头重脚轻，也可能题材过于敏感，再次称赞阿莫多瓦的色彩美学，极度舒适。
6/10。家庭的代际创伤与内战强加给国家的沉默建立了清楚的联系，雅丝娜执着于寻找内战受害者的坟墓，她愤怒地回应安娜对挖掘历史记忆的漠视，然而作为母亲的雅丝娜对安娜的沉默与欺骗，又与当局对可耻历史的忽视是一致的，当雅丝娜发现把安娜的孩子抱错，又得知亲生子在睡眠中猝死的消息时，她没有准备好处理这样一个错误的结果。阿莫多瓦将母性痛苦的遗留和内战时代的遗产进行反复呼应，如帮助雅丝娜鉴定她被杀害的祖父遗骸的法医，告诉她政府停止了挖掘内战乱葬岗的拨款后使她怀孕（留下了一个未处理的麻烦），而安娜怀疑在医院抱错时，擦拭自己、孩子和安娜的嘴核对DNA，这动作像姨妈接受口腔取样来核对祖父的尸体。结尾村民携手走向乱葬岗，那里工人们已把清理出的尸骸分类编号，当墓地揭开时雅丝娜宣布再孕，破碎的家/国记忆得到了某种形式的复原。
还是一如既往地被阿莫多瓦的视角和语气深深折服。
（ 7 / 10 ）Janis 对 Cecilia 基因的猜忌，呼应着西班牙人民对于民族血脉和历史记忆的模糊。而 Janis 的关键转变，在于她决定不再掩盖真相，把 Cecilia 还给 Ana 。这一 “交还” 的举动，寄托着阿莫多瓦希望西班牙历史真相不再沉默，不再被篡改、被掩盖的期许。在阿莫多瓦看来，一个国家的人民，尤其是年轻一代，只有直面历史真相，才有愈合伤口的可能；只有实现对民族身份与历史记忆的确认，才算是真正走向了成熟。
这样的色彩构图 就是阿莫多瓦了。在等待挖掘的时间本就需要一年，在这一年里为什么不能发生些其他事情。一年后，挖掘再现，对看故事的观众，好像喧宾夺主了。对故事中的人，不论是挖掘还是生产还是爱情情感，它们一样重要。
6.3分左右。
不是很能理解刚开始知道真相后女主的选择，是要和挖掘那条线一起来说真相永不会被掩埋？母亲这一角色在这里颇有历史见证人的意味，她们繁衍下一代，不止将血脉更是将文化与历史一代代传递下去
确实不是阿莫多瓦最好的表现，故事本身的设计已然有些老套，镜头调度上也没有增添太多惊喜，大量的背景音乐推动情绪，全靠潘潘努力挺着
一个想要包涵西班牙血腥历史的雄心勃勃故事，可以被阿莫多瓦拍成这样，你就知道一个好的导演艺术家没有什么是做不到的，只要他有表达的冲动，他就有艺术的角度和巧思。女主角佩内洛普·克鲁兹奉献了充满血肉却又令人心碎的母亲形象，她的孩子被抱错了，又猝死了，而她怀中婴儿的母亲是个未成年的少女，她又爱上了她，这复杂纠葛的关系如此令人震惊，在片中却能如此顺理成章，使人陷入情爱和母爱双重折磨之中。这失去孩子的母亲，大概也象征着失去了一段血腥历史的真正的西班牙，而那个未成年母亲的残缺处，则意味着她就是那遗忘历史的新时代的人间化身。阿莫多瓦在人与人的关系与情绪的表达上已经到达大巧若拙的境界，看着平铺直叙，其实全是了不起的掌控力。它虽没有《痛苦与荣耀》般摧心，但小情感和大情感结合能做到如此百折千回真是腕力不凡。
然而最后还是要男性来帮扶和补足，甚至“再生一个”来平复。
还是高级，虽然感觉是一个片子中夹了另一个片子，但满满的平行影射真的很好啊，演绎也细腻，家居也美丽
3.5/历史与母亲两条线有点割裂了，喜欢潘的表演，阿莫多瓦的配色总是那么强烈，喜欢。
用本片的台词来形容‘BORING’ 完全是奈飞式爽片 2亿成本的特效就这？武打套路 掺合一点黑幕 一点PTSD 一点女性力量 大家都好像不太聪明的样子 故事从黑夜到日出 以及帅哥的终点都是奶妈么hhh 碾转欧亚 在尚蒂伊城堡拍摄部分居然按上克罗地亚 是以为我们真的足不出户吗 不要把观众当傻子💢 桃总从美队到Lloyd黑得出油（您还是告别小胡子继续i can do this all day）四星因为2022依然在馋高司令不可以吗www 【日吹替：高司令/内田夕夜 桃总/肉村】
