Championed by Pedro Almodovar as 'undoubtedly the best debut in Spanish cinema for years', Lullaby is really something special. Director Alauda Ruiz de Azúa paints a warm, sharply observed portrait of modern families, mothers’ love, sacrifice and the great circle of life. Amaia (Laia Costa) has just given birth and finds motherhood overwhelming, turning to the support of her parents. As time passes, secrets and sympathies are revealed, common ground is discovered and Amaia is force to deal with the hand that life has dealt her. Utterly wonderful.
