A pesar de todo
A pesar de todo
Four far-flung grown daughters gather when their dynamic 70-year-old mother, Carmen (Marisa Paredes), dies in Madrid in DESPITE EVERYTHING. Their dad, Pedro (Juan Diego), is in and out of reality, possibly suffering dementia. The women quickly learn that in order to get their inheritance, they'll have to follow clues to the identities of their biological fathers: men their mother had sex with after learning their "dad" was sterile. Each is working through private issues. Sara (Blanca Suarez) hasn't gotten over loving Alejandro (Maxi Iglesias), and buries her sorrow in work. Lucia (Macarena Garcia) has always felt her mother didn't love her. Claudia (Belen Cuesta) drinks too much, hiding the fact that her husband has left her. Sofia (Amaia Salamanca) is a rebellious artistic soul who can't commit to any of her lesbian lovers. Together the daughters meet their fathers, most of them seemingly unlikely, and learn that each man had had an ongoing relationship with Carmen, in some cases lasting decades. This offers lots of opportunity for the sisters to discuss sex, admire a painting of a man's penis, and criticize each other for their flaws and character defects.
