"I’m going to tell you everything I wasn’t able to tell you," writes the eponymous character of Julieta in a letter to Antia, her estranged daughter, in a new trailer for the film.
Julieta lives in Madrid with her daughter AntÃa. They both suffer in silence over the loss of Xoan, AntÃa’s father and Julieta’s husband. But at times grief doesn’t bring people closer, it drives them apart.
Julieta (played by both Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte, the former in the present day and the latter in flashback) hasn’t spoken with Antia for 12 years and has a great deal to get off her chest ” information and insights that would have caused her too much shame and pain to confide earlier. But now Julieta seems ready to reveal all.
The Spanish-language drama follows Julieta’s trials and tribulations over a 30 year span ” a lot of time to collect and harbor secrets.
Sony Pictures Classics will release the film theatrically in the U.S.Directed by Petro Almodovar, the movie also stars Rossy de Palma, and Michelle Jenner. Julieta hits cinemas on December 21st.
