Parallel Mothers - film screening by Stirchley Open Cinema
Stirchley Open Cinema* a voluntary community group, are screening Parallel Mothers (2021, cert: 15) at The Old Post Office, Tuesday 23 Aug at 7pm. This is a rescheduled screening, unfortunately Stirchley Bath's blinds broke during the heatwave and need repairing.
Starring Penélope Cruz, and written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, Stirchley Open Cinema are excited to bring this award-winning drama to Stirchley.
“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.”
