All About My Mother

Pedro Almodovar's hilarious and tragic melodrama, the winner of the 1999 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, tells the story of Manuela, a nurse and single mother who loses her stage-struck teenage son to a car accident as he is trying to obtain the autograph of a famous actress. Manuela's grief and her devotion to her son send her on a journey in his honor, a search for his father that leads to friendships with several women, including the actress her son admired, her drug-addicted lover, a transsexual prostitute and an HIV-positive nun. "Emotionally satisfying and brilliantly played" (Variety). With Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Penelope Cruz (All the Pretty Horses), Antonia San Juan. Subtitled.
