Honeycomb takes place in a luxurious villa, sealed from the world. Its inhabitants stage the performance of a husband-wife duet as a tense, harrowing psychodrama, the only audiences being the two of them. The confrontation of the two actors, played by phenomenal Chaplin and Oscarsson, leads to an inevitably tragic end. Saura's intimate analysis of a crumbling relationship alludes to the Strindbergian theme of the eternal war of sexes. (Summer Film School)
