The dim light and silence of Madrid’s hospital rooms bring two men together. Pedro Almodóvar places two women in comas and their devoted companions at the heart of this drama. A journalist and a dance instructor form an unusual friendship where words fail. This waiting, echoing through the hospital corridors of Spain, is a strange period of time when bodies lie motionless but minds are overflowing with pain. While life outside flows on, they cling to the two forgotten women inside. Whispering of how far human bonds can reach in life’s most fragile moments, this story has a rhythm that flows calmly yet shakes the soul from within.
