Julieta lives in Madrid with her daughter, Antia. They both suffer in silence over the loss of Xoan, Antia’s father and Julieta’s husband. But at times, grief doesn’t bring people closer, it drives them apart. When Antia turns eighteen, she abandons her mother, without a word of explanation. Julieta looks for her in every possible way, but all she discovers is how little she knows of her daughter. Julieta talks about the mother’s struggle to survive uncertainty. It also talks about fate, about guilt complexes, and about that unfathomable mystery that leads us to abandon the people that we love, erasing them from our lives as if they had never meant anything, as if they had never existed. Powerful, funny, and deeply moving, Julieta is another towering achievement from Spanish master, Pedro Almodovar.
Julieta is in cinemas from October 13.
