A simple, heart-warming little gem of a movie. It pulled me in right from get go. Maybe it is because I am from India and I could relate to the granny - she reminded me of my own who lived in a village, and worked tirelessly from dusk to dawn in rustic conditions - no running water, no mechanical devices, no domestic help. And yet she always had a big smile and a warm hug for her grandchildren. And I cringed at the memory of my own behavior. While nowhere as rotten as the kid in the movie, I recall whining about the lack of amenities at her place, and laughing at her simple mindedness. She passed away long ago but I can now appreciate her self-sufficiency, her patience, and her big heart. The granny in the movie is an incredible find - her wrinkled weather-beaten face shines with patience and kindliness.
