Synopsis:
Three generations of women survive easterly wind, fire, madness, superstition
and even death through goodness, lies and an unlimited vitality.
They are: Raimunda (Penélope Cruz), married to an unemployed worker, and her
teenager daughter (Yohana Cobo). Sole (Lola Dueñas), her sister, who earns her
living as hairdresser. And their mother (Carmen Maura), dead in a burning, with
her husband. This character comes as an apparition first to her sister (Chus
Lampreave) and then to Sole, even though the ones she had unsettled affairs with
were Raimunda and her village neighbour, Agustina (Blanca Portillo). ‘Volver’ is
not a surreal comedy, though it might seem so at times. The living and the dead
live together without problems, but provoking hilarious situations and others
full of deep and genuine emotion. It is a movie about the culture of death in my
native region, La Mancha. My folks there live it in astonishing simplicity. The
way in which the dead are still present in their lifes, the richness and
humanity of their rites makes it possible for the dead to never really die.
‘Volver’ shatters all clichés of a dark Spain and shows a Spain that is as real
as it is opposed. A white Spain, spontaneous, fun, fearless, fair and with
solidarity.
