VOLVER: Women in Film Fest @ FOMO Cinema
Friday 27. March at 18:30 - 20:36
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
Pedro Almodóvar | 2006 | Spain | 2h06m | Spanish language with English subtitles
Pedro Almodóvar’s VOLVER returns to the landscapes of his earlier work, constructing a narrative that blends melodrama, memory, and elements of the uncanny within a distinctly female world. Centred on a network of women connected by family, loss, and shared histories, the film unfolds through acts of concealment and revelation that gradually reshape its emotional terrain.
Anchored by a widely celebrated performance from Penélope Cruz, VOLVER navigates themes of grief, resilience, and intergenerational continuity with a tonal balance that moves between humour and sorrow. Almodóvar’s use of colour, gesture, and performance creates a space in which everyday experience coexists with the possibility of the extraordinary.
As part of our Women in Film Festival, the film is included for the way it constructs a narrative almost entirely sustained by female presence and interaction. Its focus is not on singular struggle but on collective endurance, positioning women not as isolated figures but as participants in shared systems of care, memory, and survival.
