Description
The central theme of “All About My Mother” is one of sisterhood and companionship between all women, including the prominent trans characters in its message. The vibrant visuals, bitter irony, and all-round tragicomedy of this poignant, Spanish-language movie have been lauded by critics and theater-goers for decades. Nurse Manuela’s teenage son Esteban is killed at the movie’s outset in a car accident, leading her to go and inform Esteban’s father – who is actually a transvestite named Lola – of the son they never knew about.
