"The performances always make the film feel substantive and authentic, particularly the interplay between its two very different stars." - Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
Pedro Almodóvar returns with his latest feature, Parallel Mothers. Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and she 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 will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way.
