Emotionally unsettling story about a mother who --after an awful tragedy --travels to Barcelona to search for his son’s father.
While she is trying to detect the man, she meets her old friend, Agrado, who is a transsexual now. Also, she gets to know Rosa, a nun, who protects prostitutes and becomes secretary of his son’s favorite actress. Deep, emotional friendship relates the three women. Each of them is lonely and defensive. The play covers different story-lines; the audience is unaware whether the whole piece exists only in the imagination of the teenager Esteban or is true. Actually, Esteban is an amateur director who tries to find out his mother’s secrets and also, he wants to know, who his father is.
Crime and punishment, passion and sacrifice are being focused in the play. Almodóvar’s Oscar-winning world-famous movie is on stage in Hungary for the first time in Pesti Színház. The play is directed by Kamondi Zoltán, who is directing films, but he is also respected in the world of theatre.
