Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi They paid tribute in the Goya Awards to ‘All About My Mother’ on its 25th anniversary. They did it in a comfortable way, with a sofa on the stage and sharing anecdotes from their personal life and her professional career. “I had a girlfriend and in 2002 we went to see ‘Lucia and Sex’. Do you remember the mud scene? Well, when I left the cinema I had to tell my girlfriend that I am gay,” Ambrossi said. “Cinema is also self-discovery,” Javier Calvo added in response to this ‘confession’.

“I send a kiss to Daniel Freire from here,” Ambrossi continued. “No, you have to send it to your ex-girlfriend, who deserves it more,” Calvo then joked. It was then that Javier Ambrossi sent “a little kiss” to Teresa.

They have also had words to Rosa María Sardà, “the best presenter the Goyas have had in history.” “It was a special night for me, I saw Amenábar destroy ‘The Others’ and when I saw him I felt that perhaps there was a beautiful path for me,” Ambrossi said.

For Javier Calvo, “we all have an Almodóvar film that has changed our lives.” “For me it was ‘Volver’, I saw it with my parents at the cinema and I was amazed,” added the director of ‘La Mesías’. However, for Ambrossi the most special film by the director from La Mancha was ‘All About My Mother’. It was at that moment when Pedro Almodóvar, Penélope Cruz, Marisa Paredes, Cecilia Roth and Antonia San Juan took the stage and shared a sofa and confidences (that’s nothing) with the Javis.
