Beautiful visuals as usual playing with colours, textures and flavours. The story begins from the personal, picturing an intimate and very human story of two mother's to then start to open the lens and talk about more national and universal issues. From feminism to the traumatic history of the Spanish civil war. For me the movie talks about how to heal trauma. How to talk about it and how to confront the feelings that come from it. I loved watching the movie in England, I felt how the English audience appreciate and understand the traumatic Spanish history. Not sure how I would feel watching it in Spain. Penelope Cruz did an amazing performance, you feel really close to her the whole movie. When the movie ended I had the feeling we were friends. And I really wanted to go home a cook Tortilla de patata :).
