GRANDMOTHERS

In a small apartment in Buenos Aires, an old woman eagerly awaits the birth of her grandchild and all the joys of becoming a grandmother. However, horrific circumstances mean that she will be forced to wait for over 30 years... GRANDMOTHERS explores the traumatic ramifications of the military dictatorship in Argentina from 1976-83, when an estimated 30,000 men, women and children disappeared.
