Description

Grandma is having a rough time. She runs back and forth as a drudge between a crying baby, his mother who is on the phone (and wants grandma to refill her coffee) and his father who reads the paper (and continually needs a light). Nobody says anything, but grandma is driven up the wall by the sounds and dreams of a quiet summer's day. In partly coloured black-and-white drawings, this short animation shows the essence of what psychologists call the 'grandma-as-a-slave-syndrome'.
