El viaje de la Nonna

Directed by Sebastián Silva

Silva’s directorial début is a charming comedy of familial fidelity – and fibs. In Mexico, 70-year-old granny Nonna (Murguía) forgets everything – except her overwhelming desire for a family visit to the Italian birthplace of her late husband. Worried about her health, her offspring initially decline her request but finally acquiesce to the old lady’s wishes. And so the Todoros set off for Italy with a video camera to record the adventure – and save the memories.
