[LA ABUELA]
Following her dreams of becoming a top model in Paris, Susana (Almudena Amor, Goya Award nominee for Best New Actress in THE GOOD BOSS) is on the verge of success when she receives a fateful phone call informing her that the grandmother who raised her has suffered a stroke. She returns to Madrid with the goal of staying just a few days until she can arrange a full-time caregiver, but her seemingly infirm grandmother has other mysterious and terrifying plans in mind. The film is directed with spine-chilling aplomb by master of Spanish horror Paco Plaza (the REC series, VERÓNICA) from a script by award-winning filmmaker Carlos Vermut (MAGICAL GIRL, QUIÉN TE CANTARÁ). Together these two leading auteurs have crafted a truly disturbing body horror that explores our thirst for eternal beauty and youth at any cost. DIR Paco Plaza; SCR Carlos Vermut; PROD Enrique López Lavigne. Spain/France/Belgium, 2021, color, 100 min. In French and Spanish with English subtitles. RATED R
