Pain and Glory (Dolor y Gloria, directed by Pedro Almodóvar) is a Spanish film about director Salvador Mallo in his decline - played by Banderas - as he reflects and revisits big moments and decisions in his life, including his childhood in the 1960s and when he emigrated with his family.
Other encounters the film documents include Salvador's search of prosperity, the first desire, his first adult love in the 1980s, the pain of the breakup of this relationship, writing as a therapy to forget and the premature discovery of cinema.
