ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER (TODO SOBRE MI MADRE) Tributes

Manuela (Cecilia Roth), a nurse who works in a transplantation unit, witnesses the accidental death of her romantic son, Esteban, as he chases a car bearing the famous actress, Huma Roja (Marisa Paredes), from whom he wants an autograph. Esteban had longed to know about his absentee father, but his mother had always refused to tell him. When his heart is transplanted, Manuela-shattered by grief-leaves her work, and sets out to recover her past.
