My Mother Likes Women

Monday, October 18, 5:15pm

Three very different sisters have at least one thing in common: they can’t get over the fact that their mother likes women! When Sofía (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER’s Rosa María Sardà) reveals that her post-divorce romance is with another woman, her daughters react with both shock and over-the-top despair. Convinced that Sofía’s girlfriend Eliska is a conniving gold-digger, the sisters set out to expose the fraud and break up the blissful couple. While conservative oldest sister Gimena frets about how her own family will react to the news, and youngest sister Sol performs an explicit rock song about her mother’s new love, it’s middle sister Elvira (TALK TO HER’s Leonor Watling) who’s chosen to carry out their deceptively simple plan: seduce Eliska and prove her unfaithfulness. In carrying out their reckless mission, the trio learns some important lessons and the consequences of meddling in affairs of the heart.
