Grandma (Spanish; Castilian: La Nona) is a 1979 Argentine comedy drama film directed by Héctor Olivera and starring Pepe Soriano, Juan Carlos Altavista and Osvaldo Terranova.
A poor Argentine family of Italian origin lives with their grandmother Carmen, known by all as "La Nona" (grandma in Italian). Despite her advanced age, La Nona eats nonstop, while the family struggles with the bills and feeding at the same time. La Nona brings the family to the edge of ruin, whose members begin to look for the most diverse ways to earn money and eventually get rid of the old woman.
A made for TV version was produced in 1991 for the BBC Network, starring comic Les Dawson, as part of the Performance series.[1]
