A sometimes magical, nearly always neorealist narrative short film, Abuela follows a grandmother, Amelia, who has late-stage Alzheimer’s, in her last thirty-six hours in her home, and the interactions she has with her granddaughter Nayeli, who has come to visit, in that time. Through a series of match-cuts and crossfades indicating flashes back in time and Nayeli’s memories of her and her grandmother, parts of Amelia’s story and being are pieced together. Funded by the UNC Rick Dees Scholarship.
