Pedro Almodóvar’s comedic and compassionate tribute to women and their resilience in the face of life's most outrageous tribulations, starring Penélope Cruz.

Raimunda (Penélope Cruz) works and lives Madrid with her husband Paco and daughter Paula. Raimunda and her sister Sole lost their parents in a tragic fire years ago... or did they? Superstitious villagers claim that the girls' departed mother, Irene, has been seen wandering around their Aunt Paula's home…

Volver is a hilarious tale of love, loss and forgiveness from the Spanish master Almodóvar.

Pre-screening introduction

We are delighted to be joined by Dr Jose Arroyo for an introduction to the film before the screening begins.
