VOLVER stands as a towering achievement even amongst Almod�var's superb canon of work. He goes back to his birthplace, La Mancha, to tell the story of a group of women, all inspired by women from his own childhood. Three generations of women survive fire, insanity and even death by means of goodness, lies and boundless vitality.

All About My Mother tells the tale of a single mother in Madrid who sees her only son die on his 17th birthday as he runs to seek an actress's autograph. She goes to Barcelona to find the lad's father, a transvestite named Lola who does not know he has a child.

In Talk To Her, Benigno and Marco nearly cross paths when they both attend the same dance performance, only to eventually meet some time later at a private clinic where Benigno works. There he is the personal nurse and caregiver of Alicia, a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma and with whom Benigno has become obsessed. Mayfair cinema, London, 08707 564621

A retired matador gets turned on by killing, a lawyer shares the same fetish and a young man is going insane by his extreme religious upbringing: these are the main characters in Almodovar's deliciously stylish black comedy.
