All About My Mother - ACMI Matinees

Pedro Almodóvar pays adoring homage to women, mothers and female actors with his Academy Award-winning film, now 25 years young.

On a rainy Autumn night in Barcelona, single mother Manuela takes her teenage son Esteban to see a production of A Streetcar Named Desire starring the famous Huma Rojo. After the show, while chasing after Huma Roja in the rain to get her autograph, Esteban is killed in a tragic accident.

Two months later, alone and now living in Madrid, Manuela’s path crosses once more with the production as the play opens at a nearby theatre.
