Following the sudden death of her teenage son, Manuela leaves Madrid for Barcelona to search for the boy’s estranged father. In doing so, she reconnects with figures from her past and forms unexpected new bonds along the way. Winner of the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film, Pedro Almodóvar’s luminous melodrama is a vibrant celebration of motherhood, performance and chosen family. It’s devastatingly emotional, fiercely funny and overflows with compassion.
