Parallel Mothers
As part of the Habitat International Film Festival, the latest film by Pedro Almodóvar, starring Penélope Cruz, will be presented.
Parallel Mothers is the story of two women, Janis and Ana, who meet in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. They are both single and accidentally got pregnant. Middle-aged Janis has no regrets, and in the hours leading up to her delivery she is ecstatic. The other, Ana, is a teenager and she is scared, remorseful and traumatized. Janis tries to cheer her up as they sleepwalk through the hospital hallway. The few words they exchange in those hours will create a very close bond between the two, which chance will develop and complicate in such a resounding way that it will change both their lives.
