Paco Plaza, director behind REC and Quien a hierro mata, returned this year with a new horror film set in a family environment that was released in the Prime Video at the end of March. The grandmother introduces us to Susana, a young woman from Madrid who must briefly leave her modeling job in Paris to return to Spain and take care of her grandmother, Pilar, who is very affected after suffering a stroke.
“Susana has to give up her life working as a model in Paris to return to Madrid. Her grandmother Pilar just suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Years earlier, when Susana's parents died, her grandmother raised her as if she were her daughter. Susana needs to find someone to take care of Pilar, but what should be just a few days with her grandmother ends up becoming a real nightmare,” the official synopsis shared by the streaming service reads.
In her childhood, Susana was raised by her grandmother, Pilar, because her parents died when she was very young. Miles away from her childhood residence, she is now established in Paris and is emerging as a successful model, however, bad news spoils this moment of great recognition at a professional level. The old woman has suffered a stroke and needs someone who can take care of her.
Initially, the protagonist had planned only to stay a few days, while she figured out how to find a caregiver, but not everything goes according to plan. Her dear grandmother has really ceased to be her and this strange presence begins to torment her to the point that she will spend the worst experiences of her life in the house where she housed countless family memories.
Almudena Amor gives life to Susana and Vera Valdez is Pilar in La abuela, a proposal that is mainly supported by the dynamics of the performances of both actresses. Directed by Paco Plaza and with a script by Carlos Vermut, the film takes us through a terrifying experience that brings behind it a strong meaning related to old age and the complexity of the responsibilities of having very old loved ones.
The grandmother was inspired by a personal experience of Paco Plaza
The plot of Plaza's new film, which was also released in cinemas in Spain, was inspired by a personal story about a member of his family. “During my first years of life my aunt Matilde was a real reference in my life,” the filmmaker told the portal Sensacine. “I was a cultured person, an entrepreneur... But he suffered from Alzheimer's, and suddenly it was an enigma where Mathilde was. The sensation is almost like seeing it turned into a vessel, with a lost gaze, as if it were a shell. Is my aunt still in there?”
Grandma is available to watch on Prime Video since March 25 .
