City of God (2002)
Starring Alexandre Rodrigues and Alice Braga.
Madres Paralelas (2021)
Dirección de Pedro Almodóvar
Dos mujeres coinciden en una habitación de hospital donde van a dar a luz. Ambas están solteras y se quedaron embarazadas por accidente. Janis, de mediana edad, no se arrepiente y está exultante. La otra, Ana, una adolescente, está asustada, arrepentida y traumatizada. Janis intenta animarla mientras pasean por los pasillos del hospital. Las pocas palabras que intercambien en esas horas crearán un vínculo muy estrecho entre las dos, que por casualidad se desarrolla y se complica, afectando a sus vidas de forma decisiva.
El gran destaque de Madres Parelelas está en el trasfondo de la acción: Almodóvar amarra la historia de esas dos madres en un escenario de disputa sobre memoria y ancestralidad, en una discusión que muestra las aún no curadas heridas de la Guerra Civil española (1936 - 1939) que resultó en la ascensión del franquismo.
