Lola Sepa's grandson has been killed by a cell phone snatcher. Despite being devastated by the sudden violence, she must
bear the burden of making the funeral arrangements. She and her family are poor, and there is not enough money for the
coffin nor the legal pursuit against the suspected murderer. But the elderly woman is ready to even seek a bank loan to
assure both a proper burial and justice for her beloved grandson. Lola Puring is committed to getting her grandson Mateo
out of jail, although he has been accused of senselessly murdering Lola Sepa's grandson. But the poor aged woman doesn't
have the bail money. Each time she visits her grandson in prison to bring him proper meals, it breaks her heart to see
him wasting away behind bars with countless others. At the first court hearing, the two grandmothers must face one
another. Both frail and poor, each is determined to do everything necessary for her grandson. The future of the case is
dependent on grandmotherly love...
