Running time: 107 mins

Gran: little old lady or cold-hearted woman?

Complex and jolting, this black comedy defines what it means to be at the end of one's rope. The devoted and hard-working Maritxu refuses to allow her husband, Jose Maria, to place her mother in a nursing home. Worried about his wife's health, Jose Maria conspires with his daughter, Miren, and his son-in-law, Kintxo, to take her to the home. Though when the plan backfires and Kintxo realizes that Gran is more evil than she is helpless, the family grows desperate. When they must turn to a more heavy-handed solution, hope takes on dead luck.
