PARALLEL MOTHERS

PARALLEL MOTHERS
April 3, 7, 8, 10, 14
Nominated for two Academy Awards (Penelope Cruz, Best Actress; Alberto Iglesias, Best Original Score), Parallel Mothers is about two women, Janis (Cruz) and Ana (Milena Smit), who 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 traumatized. 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.
