The general solution to Einstein's equations coupled to an anisotropic fluid described by two perfect-fluid components is obtained in the case that (1) the space--time is plane-symmetric, (2) each fluid component is irrotational, and (3) each one obeys the equation of state pressure = energy density. The method used consists of solving the equivalent problem of the Einstein's equations coupled to a complex massless-scalar field. The space-time singularities are studied using the concept of velocity-dominated singularity. Comoving systems of coordinates are also studied.
