This heartfelt documentary delves into the lively bond between Milvi, an unconventional grandmother, and her granddaughter Emili, a dedicated theatre student. Each Sunday, they gather for meals, watch sports while using the cozy apartment as their secret stage to sing and dance, knowing it’s just the two of them. Milvi is a spirited soul who fills her days with ballroom dancing, ping pong while doing everything else except being just a classical grandmother. Through their cherished traditions and shared passions, the film beautifully captures their unique relationship and the simple, profound joys of family life.
