Summary/Abstract: In an era in which flesh harmonises with silicone, the masculine turns into feminine, the families consists of two women or two men, and life mingles with performance, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the original, the real from the created or the counterfeit. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyse the intricate nature of the authentic in Pedro Almodóvar’s film All about My Mother.
