Penelope Cruz makes a return to Spanish cinema, this time shedding her highly-sexualized, vampy image for a role that steps outside her comfort zone – the 41-year-old will be playing a woman suffering from breast cancer in the latest Julio Medem film, Ma Ma.
The film was recently bought by Oscilloscope in U.S., cementing its American leg even before it premiered in Spain. Meanwhile, Penelope has been making her promotional rounds at red carpet premieres in Madrid.
The actress was last spotted at Capitol Cinema in Madrid, Spain for another premiere night. Penelope was later caught in a rare photograph with her husband, leaving the premiere to go on a date night.
Penelope wore a dress from Chanel Couture and Jimmy Choo “Vita” heels in suede.

We’re not sure entirely what to think of the film’s trailer because the English subtitles are not out yet, but from what we saw, it looks good. You can check it out yourselves below:
