Mr. Sohal is a big fan of Pedro Almodóvar, and was lucky enough to meet him at a book signing in London, where he was promoting his book The Pedro Almodóvar Archives.

It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.

This film was written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and was vaguely based on Ruth Rendell's 1986 book of the same name. The cast includes Javier Bardem and Francesca Neri. The film tells the story of Victor, a pizza delivery guy, who during a heated argument with a girl he met a few days earlier, Elena, two police officers arrive on the scene to see what is happening, and a gun accidentally goes off. Skip forward four years and Elena is married to one of the police officers, now a basketball player, who Victor shot and who became paralysed. However Victor is still in love with Elena, and on his release from prison their fate starts to interlink once again.
