Nani

The filmmakers 89 year-old grandmother finds time - after her husband dies - to look back on her life and deliberate her thoughts about ageing and dying. The film was shot during one year, showing an intimate portrait about the process Nani is going through after the death of her husband, the chores of her everyday routine living now alone and her reflections about being near at the border between life and death.

«Nani resonates about aging and dying by sensibly approaching the perspective of the filmmaker’s grandmother, giving her and her memories the time and the space to unfold in front of the camera. The resulting images transport a sense of trustful dialogue beyond generations and beyond the family ties between the filmmaker and the protagonist.» – GIEFF
