Ma Ma
Directed by Julio Medem
Academy Award®-winning actress and producer Penélope Cruz delivers an extraordinarily emotional performance in Ma Ma, a film from acclaimed director Julio Medem. Honoring the high melodrama of Pedro Almodóvar and Douglas Sirk, Ma Ma follows Magda (Cruz) as she experiences tragedies and miracles alike. Just as Magda is diagnosed with breast cancer, she meets Arturo (Luis Tosar), a devoted husband and father in the midst of unspeakable loss. Their chance encounter leads both down a path of strength, grace, love, and rebirth.
