Writer/Director Pedro Almodóvar reteams with his long-time collaborators Penélope Cruz, Rossy de Palma and
Julieta Serrano for Parallel Mothers.
The film follows two expecting mothers - one excited for motherhood, the
other not so much - as they bond in a maternity hospital. Milena Smit, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and Israel Elejalde also
star.
Parallel Mothers is in UK/ROI cinemas from January
28th.
Check out the new trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Two women, Janis and Ana, meet in a hospital where they are about to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, has no regrets and is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared and repentant. Janis tries to encourage her as they move like sleepwalkers through the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between them, which by chance will develop and complicate, changing their lives in a decisive way.
