Warner Bros Spain has debuted the main official Spanish trailer for the new Pedro Almodóvar film ready for release starting in March in Spain. It’s titled Amarga Navidad, which translates in Spanish to Bitter Christmas, and it’s another Spanish drama from the colorful filmmaker. But when will we see it? During a long December holiday weekend, a woman, whose mother died recently, throws herself into more work as a form of escape. Her relentless pace is interrupted when a panic attack forces her to take a break. She travels to Lanzarote with her friend Patricia while her partner Bonifacio stays in Madrid. Amarga Navidad stars Bárbara Lennie, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Victoria Luengo, Patrick Criado, Milena Smit, Quim Gutiérrez, Rossy de Palma, Carmen Machi, and Gloria Muñoz. The first teaser trailer debuted back in December – this full trailer only adds a tiny bit of new footage into the mix. The other short descriptions says the movie is about a woman being abandoned by her partner during Christmas time. Still no US release info or anything outside of Spain yet – but if you’re into this stay tuned for more anyway.
