“Grandmothers is a simple film that tells a simple story, seemingly banal, but that are part of the memories of a child. The DP is very creative, as the story is being told by a child who seems to be registering domestic scenes on the day of his birthday. Farther more, the film is seasoned with pinches of good Jewish humor.“

“It’s a wonderful and impressing film, an outstanding example of a transgeneration transmission message, especially in the psycho-therapeutic treatment subjects.

Thank you very much for this emotional remembrance of your dear grandparents.”
