All About My Mother

All About My Mother

1999

A Greek saying states that only women who have washed their eyes with tears can see clearly. This saying does not hold true for Manuela. The night a car ran over her son Esteban, Manuela cried until her eyes ran completely dry. Far from seeing clearly, the present and the future become mixed up in darkness. She begins looking for his father who has become a transvestite.

Part of every woman is a mother/actress/saint/sinner. And part of every man is a woman. (English trailer)
