Shot in 1999, "All About My Mother" is Pedro Almodóvar's thirteenth feature film. The director was a key figure in the turbulent Movida (the movement for cultural renewal and liberation in post-Franco Spain), explores Barcelona society at the turn of the millennium through the lives of five women.

In 2014, the movie « Mommy » directed by Xavier Dolan, got the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. This was a great achievement for this director prodigy from Quebec, who had just turned 25. The script - a tumultuous relationship between a single mother and his hyperactive and violent son - and the bold direction electrified the audience.
