Oscar-winner Penelope Cruz is a mother trying to navigate the ups and downs of life in the new U.S. trailer for the Spanish-language tearjerker "Ma Ma."

Written and directed by Spanish filmmaker Julio Medem (Sex and Lucia), the film follows the developing love affair between a single mother who is privately battling breast cancer (played by Cruz, who also serves as producer) and a man coping with a recent family tragedy (played by Luis Tosar; from the Spanish films "Even the Rain" and "Sleep Tight").

Co-starring Asier Etxeandia, Teo Planell, and Silvia Abascal, "Ma Ma" will be opening in New York City on May 20th with other cities to follow.

synopsis:
Academy Award-winning actress and producer Penélope Cruz delivers an extraordinarily emotional performance in "ma ma," the newest film from acclaimed director Julio Medem (SEX AND LUCIA). Honoring the high melodrama of Pedro Almodovar and Douglas Sirk, "ma ma" follows Magda (Cruz) as she experiences tragedies and miracles alike. Just as Magda is diagnosed with breast cancer, she meets Arturo (Luis Tosar), a devoted husband and father in the midst of unspeakable loss. Their chance encounter leads both down a path of strength, grace, love, and rebirth.
