Pedro Almodóvar : 2016
Spanning 30 years in Julieta's life from a nostalgic 1985, at a more prosperous time in her life where everything seems hopeful, to 2015 where her life appears to be beyond repair and she is on the verge of madness. 12 years ago Julieta's daughter, Antía, abandoned her without warning and hasn't spoken to Julieta since. When a chance encounter brings news of her daughter, Julieta returns to her former home to revive her search for Antía, whilst also examining the events leading to her daughter's estrangement. The film speaks of inevitable destiny, a guilt complex, the unfathomable mystery which makes us abandon the ones we love, wiping them out of our life as if they had never meant anything to us – and about the pain this abandonment causes in the victim. Pedro Almodóvar's feature had its international premiere in competition at Festival de Cannes 2016.
