Janis and Ana, two single mothers who got pregnant by accident, meet in the maternity ward when they are about to give birth. Janis (Penélope Cruz), a mature woman, has no regrets about the pregnancy, while teenager Ana (Milena Smit) is frightened and experiencing moments of uncertainty. The close bond between the two evolves into a complex relationship that will change their lives decisively. In an emotional film, Almodóvar builds an intimate and political portrait of motherhood, legacy and the search for truth.
