Parallel Mothers
Nominated for 2 Academy Awards: Best Actress (Penelope Cruz) and Best Original Score!
Acclaimed filmmaker Pedro Almodovar reunites with Penelope Cruz for a surprising new drama. Janis (Penélope Cruz) and Ana (Milena Smit), 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 traumatised. 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.
Nominated for 2 Golden Globe Awards: Best International Film, Score.
