About Grandma Hófí
Senior citizens Hófí and Pétur feel discarded by a system that has no use for them. They're tired of living in a poorly retirement home and plan to rob a bank to finally buy a place for themselves. Standing in their way are both hardened criminals and inept cops, but these are the most sly seniors around and they're going to show everyone that you can still teach and old dog new tricks...
Directed by Gunnar B. Guðmundsson, Grandma Hófí leans on a strong ensemble — Edda Björgvinsdóttir, Þórhallur Sigurðsson, Steinþór Hróar Steinþórsson — 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 comedy titles of 2020.
