The Movie: "Volver"
Where You Can Stream It: Criterion Channel
The Pitch: Raimunda (Penélope Cruz) lives in Madrid with Paco (Antonio de la Torre) and her teenage daughter Paula (Yolanda Cobo). One day, Paco attempts to sexually assault Paula, claiming that he is not her father, and Paula kills him in self-defense. Not wanting to get the police involved, Raimunda decides to store Paco's dead body in the freezer of the restaurant next door, which Raimunda has agreed to look after when the owner leaves town. This makes it seem like the restaurant is open, and a film crew that is shooting nearby wants to use the place as their go-to spot for meals, with Raimunda agreeing to be their designated caterer.
