About the role - Grandma Anni:
Anni is a warm-hearted, attentive and sensitive woman who feels increasingly lost in the midst of her grandchildren's digital world. Her wish is to be seen and noticed. The role relies heavily on non-verbal presence, glances and subtle emotional nuances.
We are looking for an actress with expressive strength and the ability to carry both quiet and intense moments.
It is also important to be willing to portray physically challenging situations - especially shortness of breath and increasing weakness - sensitively and credibly.
