ABOUT THE FILMS: ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, 1999, Dir: Pedro Almodóvar, 101 Minutes, Sony Pictures Classics, Spain/France. In Spanish with English subtitles. Manuela (Cecilia Roth) is the perfect mother. A hard-working nurse, she’s built a comfortable life for herself and her teenage son, an aspiring writer. But when tragedy strikes and her beloved only child is killed in a car accident, her world crumbles. The heartbroken woman learns her son’s final wish was to know his father – the man she abandoned when she was pregnant 18 years earlier. Returning to Barcelona in search of him, Manuela overcomes her grief and becomes caregiver to a colorful new chosen family. FORMAT: 35mm PARALLEL MOTHERS, 2021, Dir: Pedro Almodóvar, 120 Minutes, Sony Pictures Classics, Spain. In Spanish with English subtitles. Two women coincide in a hospital room where they are each going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours create a close link between the two, which complicates and changes their lives for good. FORMAT: DCP
