Almodovar depicted an image of the"unusual" family, which is different from mundane concept. There are mainly 4 group of family were presented in the main characters. (One is in the performance of A Streetcar Named Desire which played by Huma and Nina.) And they all shared one similar feature: the missing of the "father."

1. Manuela & Esteban (& Lola)

2. Rosa & Manuela & Esteban2 (& Lola)

3. Rosa & Rosa's mother (& Rosa's father)

The father who suffers from Alzheimer's and can not recognize his daughter.

4. DuBois (Huma) & Stella (Nina) & Stanley (Mario) & Stella's child

Stella decided to leave Stanley with her child in the end.

The movie shows the infinite power that a mother can inspire for her children and the female trait of forbearance.

There are also several desires of Manuela reveal the mother's power.

1. desire to follow her son's heart

2. desire to find Lola to confess their son's death

3. desire to visit and work with Huma (son's favorite actress)

4. desire to raise up Esteban2
