Movie Description
Madre amadísima
(2009)Overview
The film tells the touching story of Alfredito, a sacristan in a country church: in a long flashback he talks about his life and his deep love for his mother and for the Virgin Mary, both 'beloved mothers' (madres amadísimas). From the discovery of his sexual identity to his first love, from his military service to his move to the big city, his personal experience traces the history of Spain, from Franco's dictatorship to the achievement of democracy. A baroque melodrama where the protagonist's homosexuality and religious belief together form a single devotion, passionate and unwavering.
