Featuring characters from the eponymous award-winning motion picture by Pedro Almodovar, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER is about actors and acting, homosexuality, nursing, heart transplants, transvestism, the art of creation, drugs, prostitution, Barcelona, fatherhood, loss of faith, AIDS, surrogate families, Tennessee Williams, Lorca, plastic surgery, age, love, writing, and Hollywood. But the characters are wrapped around a simple story of a mother's search for her son's father.
It is a passionate hymn to the strength and spirit of women; a kaleidoscopic drama embracing motherhood, love and desire; a moving tale of a journey which depends greatly on 'the kindness of strangers'.
