In a Spanish-speaking enclave of Tangier, widowed Maria—Almodóvar leading lady Carmen Maura (WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN)—loves her life on Calle Malaga, with her friendly neighbors, grocers, and café owners who know her routines, and a large flat filled with treasured belongings. But when her daughter Clara, the legal owner of the flat who is facing divorce and financial crisis back in Spain, insists on selling it—Maria is relegated to either live-in grandma status or a retirement home. Maria’s spunky (and wickedly humorous) obstinance and Clara’s mid-life desperation are both affecting, revealing as much of Maria’s vibrancy as her hardened entitlement and maternal shortcomings. A universal tragicomedy, offering compassion for today’s aging parents and their adult children. (Film Forum)

“Touzani gives Maura a wonderful part to embody. Maria is a wonderfully textured character, at turns flinty and cold and vivacious and funny, and Maura is adept at embodying all sides to this woman.” – Wilson Chapman, IndieWire
