Based on Sigrid Nunez’s novel 'What Are You Going Through', the English-language debut is a poignant reflection on life, friendship, and mortality as it follows Ingrid (Moore), a writer who reconnects with her friend Martha (Swinton), a war correspondent dying of cancer.

As the film traces their journey with Swinton and Moore delivering exceptional performances highlighting the beauty found even in life’s darkest moments, Pedro Almodóvar brings his themes of female solidarity and emotional depth, echoing elements of his previous works.

Approaching his late years, the film feels Almodóvar's most personal, which isn’t just about the end of life but a way to understand autonomy, dignity, and the power of love by crafting a story that is less about death and more a celebration of life, memories, and the moments that define us and make life profoundly beautiful and worth living.

Director

Pedro Almodóvar

Pedro Almodovar was born in 1949 in Calzada de Calatrava. His first experiments with Super 8 led him to produce several short films from 1974 to 1979, in addition to his first feature film Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Ordinary Girls (1980). After titles such as What Have I Done to Deserve This? and Matador, in 1988, he released Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, which won numerous awards and became the best box-office debut in the US in 1989. His All About My Mother (1999) and Talk to Her (2002) won the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay, respectively.
