Comparisons: Three Grandmothers

This film explores the lives of three remarkable grandmothers from vastly different parts of the world: Saliha in Nigeria, Violet in Canada, and Elisa in Brazil. Despite their distinct cultural backgrounds and daily routines, each woman shares the universal experience of aging, navigating the profound sorrow of widowhood, and finding enduring purpose through family, tradition, and community. Whether managing a bustling Lagos compound, tending a Canadian farm memory, or orchestrating a lively household in a historic Brazilian town, these women demonstrate resilience, compassion, and an unwavering zest for life.
