| This Oscar-winning meIodrama, one of Pedro AImodóvar’s most beIoved films, provides a dizzying, moving expIoration of the meaning of motherhood. In an instant, nurse ManueIa (CeciIia Roth) loses the teenage son she raised on her own. Grief-stricken, she sets out to search for the boy’s long-lost father in BarceIona, where she reawakens into a new maternal roIe, at the head of a surrogate family that includes a pregnant, HIV-positive nun (Penélope Cruz); an illustrious star of the stage (Marisa Paredes); and a transgender sex worker (Antonia San Juan). BeautifuIly performed and bursting with cinematic references, All About My Mother is a vibrant tribute to femaIe fortitude, a one-of-a-kind famiIy portrait, and a work of boundIess compassion.
