Curmudgeons
Directed by Danny DeVito
Produced by Jersey Films 2nd Avenue
A warm, playful short film celebrating an elderly man's freedom to love authentically and his intergenerational bond with his granddaughter.
The best part of getting old is no longer caring what anybody thinks. Eighty years-old and in assisted living, Ralph Pajovic is involved in a relationship that makes his family anxious. On a crisp, winter day, his unlucky-in-love granddaughter comes for what seems like an ordinary visit. A curmudgeon by nature, Ralph can’t possibly predict the surprise she has in store for him.
