Missing Grandma

This 11-minute 45-second dramatic short film, “MISSING GRANDMA,” explores the generational gap between a grandmother and a granddaughter. Mita, in her sixties & won't hesitate to throw a slipper at you when you’ve been rude, is in the early stages of dementia, as she tries to impress upon her 16-year-old granddaughter, Tammi, the need to act like a lady. The generational gap widens and bonds are nearly broken after Mita finds an open box of condoms in Tammi's room. Harsh words are spoken and feelings are hurt. Later,as the smell of sofrito hangs in the air, Mita puts away her Rosary and gives Tammi some awkward but valuable advice on sex.
