Pedro Almodóvar is a film director, screenwriter, and producer who was born on September 25, 1949, in Spain. Surrounded by women in his family, he showed interest in acting from an early age. Once he turned eighteen, he decided to move to Madrid to study at the Film School, but it was closed. Even so, he did not give up and had different jobs while he was involved in theater and writing novels. In 1980, he finally managed to direct his first movie: Pepi, Luci, Bom and other Girls like Mom.
Let's see some of his highest-grossing films:
All about my mother: the film follows Manuela, a nurse who oversees donor organ transplants at the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid. She is also the single mother of Esteban, a teenager who wants to become a writer. On his seventeenth birthday, he is hit by a car and dies on the spot. Manuela agrees with her co-workers to have her son's heart transplanted to a man living in La Coruña. After following her son's heart to its new recipient, Manuela resigns from her job and travels to Barcelona in search of her son's father.
Volver: the film starring Penelope Cruz (355) tells the story of three generations of women who survive different adversities. Raimunda is married to a worker and has a teenage daughter; Sole, her sister, works as a hairdresser, and Irene is their mother.
The Skin I Live In: an adaptation of the novel "Tarantula" that tells the story of a plastic surgeon who undertakes a sadistic revenge against the man who raped his daughter.
