Nieta de Mi Abuela • “Don’t end up alone like I did.” This plea from her grandmother Teresa before she passed away haunts Tatiana Fernández Geara (“Nana”). Filled with questions about what it means to “not end up alone,” the 40-year-old single documentary filmmaker explores her grandmother’s life: an imposing woman who owned an iconic movie theater, divorced three times, and challenged the Dominican norms of her era. The filmmaker embarks on a journey through family archives, old films and hundreds of letters, constructing —or trying to— a story about love, expectations and solitude.

Director Tatiana Fernández Geara is scheduled to attend both screenings.
