A Greyhound of a Girl
Mary, Tansey und die Reise in die NachtGranny is the best. While Mary’s home life is ruled by two older brothers, football and ready meals, she shares her grandmother’s rebellious spirit and love of home cooking. But the happy, carefree days in the kitchen with Granny are drawing to a close. At the same time, a mysterious woman appears in Mary’s life, ready to accompany her, her mother and her grandmother on a journey through the family’s history, bringing them all closer together for one last time as they dust off Granny’s past and straighten memories gone askew. The rich colours, sounds, smells and tastes of Ireland form a constant backdrop to Enzo d’Alò’s animated adaptation of a novel by Roddy Doyle, in which death is not the opposite of life, but part of it.
