Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Jamón jamón (Spanish pronunciation: [xaˈmoŋ xaˈmon]; English: Ham, Ham) is a 1992 Spanish romantic tragicomedy film directed by Bigas Luna and starring Javier Bardem, Jordi Mollà, and Penélope Cruz in her debut film. It centers on a young woman named Silvia who becomes pregnant by Jose Luis, the scion of a small but powerful underwear manufacturing empire, and the disastrous fallout of their relationship. The movie engages in word play and puns, and rhapsodises on the juxtaposition of old and new in Spain, as well as many other emotional contrasts such as erotic desire and food. It is the first film of the so-called Trilogía ibérica by Bigas Luna, followed by Golden Balls (1992) and The Tit and the Moon (1994). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
