This resource focuses on the key theme of female solidarity in Volver and is designed to help A-level Spanish students develop both film analysis skills and exam-ready written responses.

Through guided tasks, authentic dialogue and structured questioning, students explore how Almodóvar presents solidarity between women as a central force within the film.

What’s included:

  • Identification of key examples of female solidarity in Volver (Raimunda, Sole, Agustina, the neighbours, Aunt Paula).
  • Detailed scene analysis based on the dialogue between Raimunda and Regina.
  • Comprehension and interpretation questions in Spanish to support close reading of film dialogue (pages 1–2).
  • Multiple-choice reflection tasks to guide students towards analytical thinking.
  • A critical analysis text in Spanish focusing on Agustina as a symbol of female solidarity, followed by exam-style questions in English (pages 2–3).
  • A structured writing task guiding students to produce their own analytical paragraph on solidarity, using appropriate film vocabulary and justification.
  • Clear scaffolding to support students in moving from comprehension to critical response.

This resource forms part of a wider study guide on Volver, supporting students step by step in developing confident, analytical exam responses.
