| Summary: | Manuela is the perfect mother. A hard-working nurse, she's built a comfortable life for herself and her teenage son. But when tragedy strikes and her son is killed in a car accident, her world crumbles. The heartbroken woman learns her son's final wish was to know his father - a tranvestite named Lola whom she abandoned when she was pregnant 18 years earlier. Returning to Barcelona in search of him, Manuela overcomes her grief and becomes caregiver to a colorful family: a pregnant nun, a transvestite prostitute, and two troubled actresses.
