Sony Pictures Classics has released a trailer for Parallel Mothers, the new film from Pedro Almodóvar which sees Penelope Cruz leading a cast that includes Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Milena Smit, Israel Elejalde, Julieta Serrano and Rossy de Palma. Check it out below, along with the NSFW poster…
Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. 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.
Parallel Mothers will release in US cinemas on December 24th.
