A story facing the past and introducing filmmaker’s point of view on political situation in Europe and Cuba. The authors’ thoughts: "Values such as our grandmothers have don’t exist anymore. In the world we live in, people are hungry for real time human drama; at the same time the real important stories connected to our culture are going to the graves along with our grandmothers. Once we will be grandparents too. ”The grandmothers of revolution” is dedicated to the ones that believe in good old values."
