DESCRIPTION:

    From two-time Academy Award-winner Pedro Almodovar (2003, Best Original Screenplay, Talk To Her; 2000, Best Foreign Language Film, All About My Mother) comes Volver, a comedic and compassionate tribute to women and their resilience in the face of life's most outrageous tribulations. A luminous Penelope Cruz leads an ensemble of gifted actresses, including Carmen Maura (Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown).
    Raimunda (Cruz) 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 (Maura), has been seen wandering around their Aunt Paula's home. When Irene appears to Sole, she explains that she has returned to set right her daughters' troubled lives and reveal shocking secrets that will impact everyone! Raimunda has "female troubles" of her own, least of which is a corpse in the freezer!
    Winner of numerous film festival and critics' awards, Volver is a hilarious tale of love, loss and forgiveness.

Penelope Cruz became the first Spanish actress to be nominated in the Best Actress category for her performance in this movie.
The plot-line about the restaurant owner hiding a corpse in his freezer is taken directly from one of writer/director's earlier films The Flower Of My Secret which was made 11 years before this film, in that film the main character was writing a book and this plot-line was it's story.
