Based on three short stories by Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro, this Spanish entry for the Oscars, like most Almodovar films, centres on women. In a chance encounter “a woman faces the painful mystery of her long alienation from her daughter. But this is only the germ of a drama that grows steadily richer, more resonant and complex as the filmmaker elaborates it.”(rogerebert.com).
