A series of vignettes depicts the love between a grandmother and her grandson, as well as the differences in gender and sexuality across generations.

Personal Documentary, 1994   Length: 15 minutes   Director: Sandi DuBowski   Distribution:   Video Data Bank   37 Wabash Avenue   Chicago, IL 60603   312-345-3550   Fax: 312-541-8072 Premiere: Sunday, June 28, 1998 11pm, on Thirteen/WNET. (Repeat: Tuesday night, June 30, 1998 12:30am.)

The easy and unfettered style of this piece reflects the straightforward relationship between DuBowski and his grandmother. These two family members adore each other's individuality and forthrightness. They play as only the very old and the very young can play together; DuBowski teaches his grandmother to shoot video, and she advises him on his appearance while wearing her wigs. Gender roles are not so strictly adhered to here, as each breaks loose in his or her own way.
