Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn't regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

"The central plot of "Parallel Mothers" is vintage Almodóvar: a skein of reversals, revelations, surprises and coincidences unraveled with style, wit and feeling." - A.O. Scott, New York Times
