Synopsis
Two elderly matriarchs bear the consequences of a crime involving their grandsons: one is murdered, the other is the suspect.
Editorial
The Filipino new wave is responsible for some of the peaks of contemporary cinema and Brillante Mendoza remains one of its foremost talents. Mendoza is the movement’s classically minded social realist, and with Grandmother he creates a powerful portrait of the struggle of women in modern Manila.
