Description

There is a special bond that exists between grandmothers and grandchildren and sometimes it is only grandchildren who can ask questions no one dares to ask. Three charming 20-something grandsons explore the question of how memory works when they take a unique journey with their grannies to discover their historic and personal legacies through stories from the Second World War. Playful and innocent, this endearing film takes audiences on an emotional journey through laughter and sadness as the three extraordinary women—a former British spy, a Hungarian Holocaust survivor and a German dancer—tell their stories. But when the grandmothers meet one another, their divergent languages and pasts bring raw emotions to the surface and the grandsons find that their playful experiment has become much more profound.
