 
Multi Award Winner, including the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Reviewed as "...magnificent", "...a masterpiece, an instant classic" and "..a rich, astounding gift from one of cinema's living angels". A single mother in Madrid sees her only son die on his 17th birthday as he runs to seek an actress's autograph. She goes to Barcelona to find the lad's father, a transvestite named Lola who does not know he has a child. First she finds her friend, Agrado, also a transvestite; through him she meets Rosa, a young nun bound for El Salvador, and by happenstance, becomes the personal assistant of Huma Rojo, the actress her son admired. She helps Huma manage Nina, the co-star and Huma's lover, and she becomes Rosa's caretaker during a dicey pregnancy. With echoes of Lorca, 'All About Eve', and 'Streetcar Named Desire', the mothers (and fathers and actors) live out grief, love, and friendship. Dolby Digital, PAL Region 4, 4x3 Letterbox Screen Format.
