All About My Mother

All About My Mother (1999)

Todo sobre mi madre

Part of every woman is a mother/actress/saint/sinner. And part of every man is a woman.

Following the tragic death of her teenage son, Manuela travels from Madrid to Barcelona in an attempt to contact the long-estranged father the boy never knew. She reunites with an old friend, an outspoken transgender sex worker, and befriends a troubled actress and a pregnant, HIV-positive nun.
