Grandma
Directed by Lidiya Bobrova
Produced by 3B Productions, Lenfilm
A melancholic portrait of an aging war survivor abandoned by her own family, exploring themes of sacrifice, generational disconnect, and the indignity of aging in a society that has moved on.
An old Russian grandmother or "babushka", who took part in the Battle of Stalingrad, sacrificed everything for her children and even sold her house to get money for her grandchildren, is shuttled among those very grandchildren--products of the "new" Russia--none of whom want her to stay with them since she's too much of a "burden" for them.
