About La abuelita
Granny rules the roost, but little sister's a bit rebellious. She listens to Cuban music, she wears make-up, she goes out un-chaperoned... Granny sees her rubbing up against a married man and it shatters her health.
Directed by Raphael J. Sevilla, La abuelita leans on a strong ensemble — Sara García, Carlos Martínez Baena, David Silva — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1942.
