Who doesn't love animation? Today I projected "My stuffed granny" to my Proficiency class. They simply loved it.

The story discusses the financial crisis in Greece under the lens of an one parent family who is laid on the grandmother's pension to survive. Humorous, pretty dark and unexpected with twists in the scenario leaves the audience hopeful for the future.
