Additional InformationFollowing the passing away of their mother in a fire, Raimunda (Penelope Cruz, VANILLA SKY) and Sole (Lola Duenas, TALK TO HER), leave their home town of La Mancha to live in Madrid. Raimunda lives with her daughter and unsupportive husband, taking on menial jobs, while Sole works in secret as a hairdresser. The only member of their family to remain in La Mancha is their Aunt Paula, who speaks of their deceased mum as if she were alive. The sisters also visit their friend Augustina, who remains devastated by the death of the mother. When Paula dies, the situation changes and the sisters find themselves communicating with their apparently deceased mother. Pedro Almodovar directs this mysterious and suspenseful film with panache and Penelope Cruz--with the enhancement of a prosthetic backside--shines in a sparkling performance.

  • Volver

    A excellent film, mixing the living and the dead. Great story put beautifully together by Almodovar. Strong cast of women mainly, men come and go quickly in this film. And Penélope Cruz is fantastic as both a strong and fragile woman.

  • Dark humour and family intrigues in a small town in La Mancha

    A typical Almodovar film, full of dark humour, set in the world of capable women struggling to survive in a male-dominated society in southern Spain and generally overcoming the odds. If you like Almodovar, you'll love it.
