Parallel Mothers
Drama
Two unmarried women who have become pregnant by accident and are about to give birth meet in a hospital room: Janis, in her late-thirties, unrepentant and happy; Ana, a teenager, remorseful and frightened.
VIBE
This is a deeply felt drama, rich with vibrant colors and complex emotions. It weaves personal narratives with the weight of history, exploring the profound bonds and unexpected turns of motherhood. The experience is tender yet dramatic, inviting reflection on memory and identity with a distinctly Almodóvar touch.
