Synopsis
Grandchildren called her Granny. She was the main person for them (their mother and father were always absent working at the railroad). The years have passed. Children grew up and now have their own families. Granny sold the house, gave them money and went to live with her daughter and her son-in-law in their new city apartment. But then her daughter dies. Her son-in-law starts a new life and turned away from his mother-in-law. Unexpectedly her niece — a famous journalist arrived from the capital and tries to unite Granny with her beloved grandchildren. (Summary from Russian Film Week In New York

***
This is about Russia of today. A nation there, according to this movie, not only the economy is wicked but the people too. Even towards their old relatives.
Nobody wants the Babusya. Everybody thinks about themselves and their comfort. It's not a question of economy, it's just that they don't want the old lady in their homes, even if she digged trenches at Stalingrad, even if she sold her house and gave the money to her grandchildren and even if she is their grandmother.
People say things that you realise afterwards is important. "Satan exists" is said as a joke, but it isn't a joke, it's true. Some of the relatives have conscience and cries about their evilness and the fact that there is nothing they can do about it. A very dark film and also a religious one. See it, if you have the oppurtunity.(Summary by stensson, Stockholm, Sweden)
