Todo Sobre mi Madre

Come to the Wolfson College Seminar Room at 8pm this Sunday 7th of March, and to celebrate Women's day, we will be showing the Oscar winning film "All About my Mother" ("Todo Sobre mi Madre"), directed by internationally acclaimed Pedro Almodovar, and starring Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes and Penelope Cruz.


This is a poignant film about the strength of woman's heart, in all its shapes and sizes. Its story starts with Manuela, a nurse coordinating organ transplants in Madrid, and her son Esteban, an aspiring writer scribbling amongst his notes a tale for her: "All About my Mother". His tale is brutally cut short by a car accident as he tries to get an autograph from his favourite actress, Huma Rojo. In a sad twist of irony, she has to decide the fate of her son's heart, and unable to continue her job. Remembering her son's birthday wish she goes to Barcelona, to find all about Esteban's father: Lola.
