Lola Igna

Grandma Igna) is a 2019 Philippine Dramedy film directed and written by Eduardo Roy Jr., and starring veteran actress Angie Ferro, and Yves Flores.

One day, she empties her urinal at a boy who turns out to be Tim, her great-grandson from her estranged other granddaughter Ana, who left years ago after an argument with Nida.

Tim explains that he left her mother to escape domestic troubles and seeks to reconnect with Lola Igna while making a vlog.

Igna explains that she started preparing for her death after seeing her late husband Carias one night, thinking that he is coming to take her into the afterlife.

Media attention on Igna fades away as another person wins the oldest living grandmother title, and life in town returns to normal.

Work on the film had to be halted due to director Eduardo Roy's illness consequentially caused its withdrawal from the 2017 edition of Cinemalaya.

[6] A review excerpt published by GMA News and written by J. Neil Garcia stated: "What an ordinary, straightforward, and given the recent spate of miserablist and ‘poverty-porny’ films entirely refreshing vision of our people’s inner truth—indeed, of all of humanity’s inner and most resplendent truth: while everyone and everything passes, what will remain of us is love.

And of course, hats off and immense respect to the great Angie Ferro, whose dignified and poignantly human ‘enfleshment’ of Lola Igna will doubtless be a touchstone performance for other actors for many generations to come.

Lola Igna, as a character and a film, could help us move on from our struggles in life by simply living more and loving the people around us to the fullest.
