Grandma - Clip

Elle Reid is an ageing poet recovering from a broken heart following her break-up with her long term girlfriend. When her troubled 18-year-old granddaughter Sage turns up on her doorstep one day, she thinks she finally has the distraction she needs. However, Sage needs $600 and Elle, now being pretty much broke, can't give it to her. Instead, she offers to drive her around on a long road trip to recover cash from various friends and ex-boyfriends; though it's not only cash they find on the way. Numerous secrets are uncovered and old conflict is resurfaced, and Sage is forced to face responsibility and start becoming an adult. At the same time, Elle knows it's time for her to start thinking about the most important things in life, accept the troubles of her past and stop living under the 'tough woman' guise.

'Grandma' is a touching, critically acclaimed comedy drama about the importance of family in times of crisis, and how everyone needs a crutch in life. Shot in Los Angeles, the film has been written and directed by Academy Award nominated Paul Weitz ('American Pie', 'Little Fockers', 'Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant') and premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival on January 30th.
