Raimunda (Penelope Cruz) lives in Madrid with her daughter Paula. Her husband Paco is an unemployed labourer and drunkard. Her sister, Sole, works as a hairdresser and lives nearby. The sisters lost their mother, Irene, in a fire in their home village years ago. Their aunt still lives there and speaks of Irene as if she were still alive. When the old aunt dies the past returns to the sisters bringing with it some unresolved issues. Almodovar brings us a Spain alive with spontaneity, humour and emotion. In Spanish with English subtitles.
