Episode synopsis
Women have been fundamental in Almodóvar's cinema and life: "I owe my first education to them... And the fact that my films are full of very strong, fighting, omnipotent women, born survivors, comes from that generation which is my mother's generation." Almodóvar speaks with Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi about the importance of friendship in his life and in his female characters, and reflects on the profound influence of his mother. Motherhood, a recurring theme in much of his filmography, has been portrayed in all its facets.
