A Grandmother’s Love – Amor de Abuela

(2017)

Welcomed and narrated by the warm voice of a loving Guatemalan grandmother, Amor de Abuela invites its viewers into both the home and life of two unique children from the remote village of Tactic. Although being similar in many ways, the two friends come from very different home lives. The film follows the contrast between the benefits solar electricity has brought to the life of one of the friends, while reflecting on the absence of it within the other child’s life. The film aims to share insight into a life without light, raising awareness to the one in seven people in our world living without access to electricity.
