    • "The running Nonna" tells the story of Elisa Forti, who at the age of 82 is about to run the race of her life: 25 kilometers through her hometown in northern Italy, near Lago di Como.
      While traveling with her family through the places where she spent her childhood, she runs alongside with two of her grandchildren this demanding career through nature. Elisa shows pure action showing that "age is what one feels in the heart, not what the document says". This is an inspiring movie, like her.
