All About My Mother

The film establishes a distinct community of women, in the fat that each one of them has had a rather traumatic past in some form or manner. Each is not like the other, as some, such as Rosa, were pure for most of their lives, before being seduced by the other women, such as Lola, thus causing Rosa's death. Lola, on the other hand, was the man that Manuela loved, and thus, when Lola became a woman, Manuela was left by him, alone to care for her son. Meanwhile, the man whom Lola became a woman with, Agrado, was left by Lola, and this brought Manuela and Agrado back together. Meanwhile, Lola's son's death brought the two back together, only going to show that each woman is linked together. Despite the vast nature of each of their differences, they are still woman, and still remain in each others lives, whether it be in a past tense, future tense, or present tense. If it were not for all the women, such as Agrado and Lola, becoming women, the film could not establish all of the connections it does, and the lives of these women would be very different.
