THE DIVA, MY GRANDMA AND ME

Documentary Short Film Contest 54 ED. 2026
Spain 2025 10' Animación Debut film

Inés and her grandmother Esperanza have always had a special relationship. While they talk, the grandmother hums songs from her youth and with one of them, “Batallón de Modistillas”, she opens the box of her memories and her granddaughter’s imagination. The music becomes the perfect pretext for a journey through time full of wonderful characters, free women, dreams without limits and unforgettable melodies.
