Experiencing Interruptions?

Omama

Omama tells the story of my 88-year-old rural Hungarian grandmother, whose main wish is not to wake up tomorrow. When I, her 30-year-old expatriate grandson, return hoping to reconnect with her, the film unfolds as an intimate yet quirky meditation on resilience and decay, the class gap that divides us, and the care that connects us.
