Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert) Manuela is an Argentine nurse who supervises donor organ transplants at Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid. She is also a single mother to Esteban, a teenager who aspires to become a writer. On Esteban's 17th birthday, he is hit and killed by a car while chasing after actress Huma Rojo for her autograph following a performance of A Streetcar Named Desire, where Rojo portrays Blanche DuBois. Manuela allows her son's heart to be transplanted to a man in A Coruña. After tracking down the recipient, she resigns from her job and travels to Barcelona in search of Esteban's other mother, Lola, a transgender woman whom Manuela had kept secret from her son, just as she had never told Lola about the boy. In Barcelona, Manuela reunites with her old friend Agrado, a warm and witty transgender sex worker. She also makes several new friends: Rosa, a young HIV positive nun who works in a shelter for battered sex workers and is pregnant with Lola's child; Huma Rojo, the actress her son had admired; and Nina Cruz, Huma's co-star and lover, who struggles with drug addiction. Manuela's life becomes entwined with theirs as she cares for Rosa during her pregnancy, works as Huma's personal assistant, or takes the stage as an understudy for Nina during one of her drug abuse crises. On her way to the hospital, Rosa asks the taxi to stop at a park where she spots her father's dog, Sapic, and then her own father, who suffers from Alzheimer's. He does not recognize Rosa and asks for her age and height, but Sapic recognizes her. Rosa dies giving birth to a healthy boy; at her funeral, Manuela finally reunites with Lola. Lola (formerly known as Esteban) is dying from AIDS and talks about how she always wanted a son. Manuela tells her about their own son Esteban and his fatal accident. Manuela adopts Rosa's son, Esteban, caring for him at Rosa's parents' house. The father does not understand who Manuela is, and Rosa's mother introduces her as the new cook who is living there with her son. Rosa's father then asks Manuela about her age and height. Manuela introduces Esteban, Rosa's son, to Lola and gives her a picture of their own Esteban. Rosa's mother spots them from the street and confronts Manuela about letting strangers see the baby. Manuela tells her that Lola is Esteban's other parent, but Rosa's mother is appalled and says, "That is the monster that killed my daughter?!" Manuela flees back to Madrid with Esteban as she cannot live at Rosa's house any longer. The grandmother is afraid that she will contract HIV from the baby. Manuela writes a letter to Huma and Agrado saying that she is leaving and apologises once again for not saying goodbye like she did years before. Two years later, Manuela returns with Esteban to an AIDS convention. She tells Huma and Agrado, who now run a stage show together, that Esteban has been a miracle by becoming HIV-free. Manuela then says she is returning to stay with Esteban's grandparents. When Manuela asks Huma about Nina, Huma becomes melancholic and leaves. Agrado tells Manuela that Nina returned to her town, got married, and had a fat, ugly baby boy. Huma rejoins the conversation briefly before exiting the dressing room to go perform. * Information sourced online in the public domain. Shipping Combined shipping is never a problem.

Any shipping charges paid are non-refundable. For the purpose of identification, order accuracy and prompt delivery of goods, contact details (including name, address, telephone number & eBay username) as provided by eBay will be printed on the address label. Payment Please pay for your purchase within 7 days, or the sale will be cancelled and the item automatically relisted. As a courtesy, a generic payment reminder will be sent after 4 days. Feedback Policy I sell tangible goods - NOT feedback. For this reason, I do not leave feedback for buyers, and never have done. I use the automated feedback system which eBay provides sellers. It is triggered to leave a positive rating and a random comment (from a list of 10 saved comments) upon receipt of positive feedback from the buyer - or in simpler terms, at the conclusion of the transaction. If you're expecting feedback prior to the conclusion of the transaction, or if you expect personalised rather than generic comments, please be prepared for disappointment. Any/all message requests for feedback will either receive a generic reply, or be ignored completely. So the bottom line is; don't expect feedback, don't be a feedback beggar, and your feedback score will automatically increase by one after you complete the transaction. If you disagree with my feedback policy, please find an alternate seller. Terms of Sale (the fine print)Unfortunately, a certain undesirable element has made the inclusion of these terms a necessity. They are as follows;By bidding, buying or making an offer, you agree that you have read the listing in its entirety - including these terms. You acknowledge understanding all content, and confirm complete agreement with same. All of my listings have preferences set to automatically decline unrealistic offers. I'm not in the habit of giving things away, so please keep it real. Sending ridiculously low counter offers (lowballing) will result in you being blocked immediately. If you seriously think I will entertain an offer of $2.50 for a $425.00 item, I suggest you seek help for your condition. Perhaps unassisted online shopping isn't an appropriate activity for you. While on the subject of blocking, if you wish to make an offer, please use the tools provided by eBay. If you try to circumvent the system by messaging me with an offer, you will be reported for trying to trade outside of eBay, and voilà... you're blocked. Estimated delivery times are just that - an estimate. They are provided by eBay, and have nothing whatsoever to do with either the delivery service provider or the seller. Postage star ratings for all items are in relation to the seller's handling time. As in, how long it takes them to post the item after receiving your payment. You are rating the seller - NOT the delivery service provider. Sellers have no control over delivery times for Australia Post, Aramex, DHL, or any other chosen shipping company. If you wish to rate their service, please visit their respective website. Using the eBay feedback system to rate a seller's handling time, based on the level of service you were provided by a third party, is not only unfair, it's highly inappropriate. At the time of dispatch, you will receive an email advice with an attached photograph of the item as it went out the door. While items are dispatched at all hours of the day and night, in most cases they are generally not picked up until some time between 8am and 6pm on the following business day (usually around noon, but times vary). Different screen resolutions may alter colours on different devices. Any measurements given are done by hand, and therefore approximate. Please allow for a variation of anywhere up to 10 - 20mm My home is smoke free, but not pet free. While all care is taken, the possibility still remains of static electricity causing lint, thread, plastic or even a stray hair to cling to packaging items. If there's even the slightest chance you may find this offensive, please do not purchase this item. Upon entry of the UPC number, item specifics are auto-filled by the eBay system. These system generated product details overwrite manual entries, and may, or may not be accurate. The grading system used on my listings is provided by eBay. For console game discs, CDs and DVDs, it is as follows; Disc ConditionScratching/MarkingRatingBrand NewN/AN/ALike NewBlemish FreeVery GoodAnywhere between Light and MediumGoodAnywhere between Medium and HighAcceptableAnywhere between High and Extreme All items are graded based on whichever category applies best to the item. As an example, an item listed as "Good" condition, doesn't mean it is in good condition. It means it is the grading (as the second lowest), which best applies to the item. If you disagree with the grading system implemented by eBay and used in this listing, please do not buy this item. When an item is described as used, that means it is used. All known defects, blemishes or imperfections are noted in the listing. If you are wanting a new item, please buy one. Do not buy a used item and expect something brand new to be delivered - especially for $3.00 with free postage. If something is described as having medium to high level scratching, expect it to have medium to high level scratching. Complaining that your item showed up scratched when that is exactly how it was described casts serious doubt on your character and/or intelligence. Once again, if you are after a blemish free item, please buy it new. Used CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are checked for defects under warm light, cool light and natural light. They are then tested on a Laser BLU-BD4000 Blu-ray player, while console games are tested on the relevant gaming console. Due to varying levels of sensitivity between playback units, what works without fault on my test equipment may not work properly on your personal setup. I am not responsible for the quality or functionality of your hardware, and am in no way at fault if the disc doesn't function correctly in your system.Please Note: There are known sensitivity issues with the following DVD/Blu-ray playersLG - DV582HPanasonic - DP-UB150 In the unlikely event of something going wrong, you agree to contact me first before taking any other action. You agree to assist me with any investigation by providing any/all requested information as soon as possible. All items above $15.00 in value, and all items larger than a letter will be shipped with tracking. To avoid damage in transit, all items are packaged in a professional manner for shipping. This is NOT negotiable. Any requests for modifications to packaging practices will be declined. Not only do I know what I'm doing, but I don't tell you how to do your job - so don't tell me how to do mine! Just because an item is listed as "free postage" does not mean that postage is free. It is not. It means that the postage cost is factored into the sale price, and borne by the seller. Any refunds provided will have the actual postage and packaging charges, along with all applicable fees deducted from the refund amount you are given. Never assume. If you find any missing or incomplete information in a listing, please ask for further details. I'm always only too happy to help out whenever I can, and would appreciate the opportunity to revise the listing.
