Grannies (28'), Tzeli Hadjidimitriou, Greece
Making their own mark ... Grannies presents four women of Lesvos: Aged but strong in spirit, grounded in the soil and history of the island, recalling life with humour and wisdom. Angeliki throws away the photos of those who have passed away, Myrsini sings a capella an Amanes song in the living room of her country house, a woman in the park caresses her cat, a substitute for her dead husband, and Photo proudly claims that she never cared about marriage, because she wanted to be free. The grannies ask for nothing except to be recognised as the heroes of their own live
