A SPANISH film called Julieta comes to the screen at Bahrain Cinema Club tonight at 7pm. Based on three short stories from the book Runaway by Alice Munro, the storyline follows a woman named Julieta who lives in Madrid with her daughter Antía. Following the loss of Xoan, Antía’s father, the two women suffer silently.
When Antía turns 18 she abandons her mother, without a word of explanation. Julieta looks for her in every possible way, but all she discovers is how little she knows about her daughter. Directed by Pedro Almodóvar, the film was nominated for the Golden Palm Award at Cannes Film Festival. It was also nominated for a BAFTA for Best Film not in the English Language.
