The actress, who recently won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival for her performance in Parallel Mothers, admits that her and her husband Javier Bardem's children, 10-year-old Leonardo and 8-year-old Leo, are her priorities.
I love filming, but I don't feel the need to do it all the time. I was the type of person who wakes up in the middle of the night to answer emails. It wasn't the rhythm I wanted to live in
– she said.
In the film, the actress played a single mother whose child in the hospital was accidentally confused with another baby. She received an offer to star in the film from Pedro Almodovar in the midst of a pandemic, and then for her it became a glimpse on the horizon in “crazy times”.

The coronavirus pandemic, by the way, helped the actress to look differently at her life and at work. Now she is focused on creating and producing small films, although Cruz is in no hurry to part with Hollywood and is now filming Code 355, where her colleagues are Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o, Diane Kruger and other stars.
