Raimunda (Cruz) has a full plate in front of her. Still saddened by the death of her mother and father so many years ago, she works as a janitor while her unemployed and unmotivated husband lies about their Madrid apartment, sometimes pestering their teenage daughter, Paula (Cobo). Plus she cares for her elderly aunt (Lampreave), who seems to be going senile, claiming she sees, and speaks to, Raimunda's long-dead mother on a daily basis. Volver, which means "to return," won best screenplay (Pedro Almodóvar) at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. (Jack Kelley)
