İKSV Galas: Parallel Mothers

The new feature by Pedro Almodóvar, who was awarded at Cannes with Pain and Glory in 2019 and revisited theatres with his short The Human Voice, Parallel Mothers premiered at the 2021 Venice Film Festival where it was screened as the opening film. The film which he describes as "the Don Quixote of motherhood," follows two mothers, who give birth on the same day: middle-aged Janis doesn’t regret it, and Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant, and traumatized. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, their lives run parallel over the first two years of their children’s lives.

Parallel Mothers brought its lead actress Penélope Cruz the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival where it premiered. The film is nominated in seven categories at the Goya Awards.
