Magda had just been abandoned by her husband when she learns she has breast cancer. Her physician is optimistic, but she will need a mastectomy. One day, during her son's soccer game, Magda meets Arturo, a man who has just received the news that his wife and son were in a car accident. From these tragedies, a special bond is formed. A wondrously ingenious melodrama about life, death, love, and miracles through the eyes of Julio Medem, director of Sex and Lucia and Lovers of the Arctic Circle. With Penelope Cruz. Toronto Film Festival 2015.
