Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn't regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and taumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way" --Container.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In a local maternity ward, two women of disparate backgrounds find their lives entwining in an unexpected way. Middle-aged Janis (Penélope Cruz) eagerly awaits her new arrival as Ana (Milena Smit), a frightened and traumatized teen, feels anxious about what the future may hold for her and her new child. As the women navigate the trials of childbirth and the impending expectations of motherhood, they develop an intricate, complex bond that irrevocably alters the course of their lives. Written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. ~ Maggie Sadler, Rovi
