Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. 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 traumatized. 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.

“Parallel Mothers plays like a mélange of the director's [Pedro Almodóvar] early love of soap operatic Hitchcock combined with the gravitas found in the mature period of his later work.” -David Harris, Spectrum Culture
