In “Mães Paralelas” (2021), Pedro Almodóvar exerts his art, with a narrative that imitates scenes from a telenovela, punctuated by the dramatic effect that reflects the exaggeration of emotions without surrendering to the dramalhão. The dry unfolding of the synthesis situations reveals an old series with an avantgarde guise.
Women of different generations have their daughters exchanged in motherhood, an allegory of the painful and necessary experience of seeing the other, embodying their traumas and brought together by chance, revealing a destiny.
Work of those who develop their craft to the goal of the virtuoso who frees himself from everything useless and gets to the core of his presence on earth.
