Queens

Directed by Manuel Gómez Pereira2005Spain/Italy/Netherlands107 mins

A whimsical, contemporary ensemble comedy, Queens stars five of Spain's most celebrated and beloved actresses as hard-hitting mothers coping with the pending family conflicts surrounding the marriages of their sons during Spain's first-ever gay wedding en masse. As these very different mothers deal with their own desires, prejudices and history, the high jinks and mayhem unfold in a hilarious clash of sex, anger, bigotry and love throughout the weekend. Starring a slew of Almodóvar icons like Verónica Forqué, Carmen Maura, and Marisa Paredes.
