    tribute to grandad
    In a tribute to her abuelo, iliana sosa presents us with the story of their lives over the years. Grandfather has been coming up to the states for fifteen years to visit. But he says "I just watch tv here, so I go back home", which is san juan del rio. There, he's building a house for his other son next to the house he's already planning to leave one son. Sosa pretty much lets grandad tell his own story. A plain, simple life. "I've never been scared of hard work." repeated scenes of the beautiful sunset... from somewhere, one assumes, at grandad's home. From friends, i've heard similar stories of history and respect for the (hardworking) parents and grandparents, still in mexico. Sadness, as they get older. Currently, there's no cast list, so we're not really sure who is who. Hopefully the cast list will be updated. Directed by sosa. Written by sosa and isadore bethel. This is listed as a documentary, so one assumes it's a true story. It's totally predictable, but a good watch.
