To top off the family crisis, her mother Irene returns from the dead to tie up loose ends.

Reviews:
Rotten Tomatoes: Volver catches director Pedro Almodovar and star Penelope Cruz at the peak of their respective powers, in service of a layered, thought-provoking film.
Roger Ebert gave it his highest rating of four, calling it “enchanting, gentle, transgressive” and notes “Almodovar is above all a director who loves women—young, old, professional, amateur, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, dead, alive. Here his cheerful plot combines life after death with the concealment of murder, success in the restaurant business, the launching of daughters and with completely serendipitous solutions to (almost) everyone’s problems”.
Tickets £12 (includes both food and film) available from HEART reception and online
