Be ready to watch “Steel Magnolias” over and over again, and be sure to have a box of tissues with you. You’ll laugh, and you’ll cry (maybe at the same time too!) and you will definitely not forget it. This is the story of six women in the south of the United States (by the way, Magnolias are frequent in the south), living their lives fully and never giving up (made of steel), always stopping by at “their” beauty parlor: their sanctuary.
The plot’s fulcrum is Shelby’s life, starting from her marriage and the most difficult, but sought decision of all: having a baby despite her illness, diabetes. What could emotional and strong women love more than arranging and attending so important a wedding? There is laughter and sentimentalism as well as lots of food for the reception after the ceremony: a beautiful velvet cake. This cake is the groom’s and is shaped as an armadillo, because of an old southern tradition. How can anyone resist such a sweet and beautiful cake?
But there is plenty more, such as changes, transformations and relationships in the women’s lives, that are supported by the incredible help and bond they are gifted with: thank God for sisterhood and multiple layer velvet cake!
