A mi madre le gusta mujeres (My Mother Likes Women)

Title: A mi madre le gusta mujeres (My Mother Likes Women)
Released: 2002

My Mother Likes Women starts with Sofia introducing her new lover to her three thirtysomething daughters. The daughters are shocked when they discover that the person their mother is dating is a) their age and b) a woman. Each of them take the news and cope in different ways. The youngest, Sol, invites her family to her punk band's concert and performs a song she wrote titled "My Mother Likes Women". Elvira is the daughter most disturbed by her mother's revelation and has several near nervous-breakdowns.

While a comedy, the film turns more serious when the daughters design a plan to break the two women up. The movie has trouble recovering from it's dramatic turn, but all around was a fun, smart film.
