Synopsis by Mark Deming

A new circle of friends helps a woman come to terms with grief in this Spanish drama. Ana (Julieta Serrano) is a middle-aged woman who is struggling to put her life back in order after the death of her husband. Ana isn't the only one in her family with problems -- her son Antonio (Antonio de la Torre) is having trouble with his marriage, and her grandson Ezequiel (Alexander Biggie) can't convince his father that he's more interested in dancing than football. Ana finds a new lease on life when she meets a group of neighborhood women who meet regularly to play petanca, a Spanish lawn bowling game. Ana's new friends help her to come out of her shell and enjoy life again, but she's forced to deal with real-world crises again when one of her pals is diagnosed with a serious illness. Originally produced for Spanish television, Y A Mi Quien Me Cuida?
