Pedro Almodóvar in top form in one of his most personal films. "Bitter Christmas", his first Spanish-language production in 5 years, has everything that viewers love his cinema for: passion, intense colors, subversive humor and full-blooded characters that defy simple patterns. Forty-year-old Elsa (Bárbara Lennie) throws herself into work after her mother's death, refusing to allow herself to mourn. Only a panic attack forces her to stop and set off on a journey that will become a confrontation with the past, lost relationships and unfulfilled desires. A story about how memory, fiction and desire constantly rewrite our lives.
