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.

Top 10 places to celebrate Carnival in Brazil!

https://www.carnivaland.net/places-brazil-celebrate-carnival/

Zé is a very poor man from the Brazilian countryside. His most prized possession is his donkey. When his donkey falls terminally ill, Zé makes a promise to Saint Bárbara: If his donkey recovers, he will carry a cross - like Jesus - all the way from his city to Saint Bárbara's church in the state capital. Upon the recover of his donkey, Zé leaves on his journey. He makes it to the church, but the priest refuses to accept the cross once he came to know the context of Zé's promise, that was made in a Candomblé session, dedicated to the goddess Yansan.

History shows the strength of a humble man’s faith and all the dangers involving situations of religious intolerance.
