All About My Mother (1999)
Pedro Almodóvar's comedy-drama All About My Mother was released in 1999 and starred Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Candela Pea, Antonia San Juan, Penélope Cruz, and Rosa Maria Sardà. 'All About My Mother,' a magnificent film by Pedro Almodóvar, tackles a set of social issues centered on a transgender lady, a topic that feels perfectly natural and reasonable given the director's ongoing fascination and study of feisty female characters. The film follows Manuela, an Argentine nurse who is grieving the death of her son, Esteban, in a car accident.
Manuela travels to Barcelona soon after to track out Esteban's father, Lola, a transgender woman who never met Esteban. Apart from Lola, Manuela runs across an old acquaintance, a transsexual sex worker, and Lola's pregnant girlfriend Rosa, and her outlook shifts dramatically.
