Petra Seliškar

A story about extreme lifestyle according to the ideology of the filmmaker’s grand parents. A story of divided families between Europe and Latin America and political systems. A story of destroying the values of grandparents by generation of filmmaker’s parents. Film full of emotional and comical elements introducing love the values and believes in three different ideologies via politics. A constant battle for survival that unites in the genes of a new generation - the generation made by filmmakers and their children. Once we will be grandparents too. ‘The Grandmothers of Revolution’ is dedicated to the ones that believe in good old values.
