Directed by Pedro Almadovar and starring Penelope Cruz, Parallel Mothers follows two women who coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. One, middle-aged, doesn't regret it and she is exultant. The other, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way.
