Cold Cash and Warm Hearts: Why You Need to Watch Metti la nonna in freezer
If you’re looking for a film that perfectly balances "laugh-out-loud" absurdity with sharp social commentary, look no further than the 2018 Italian hit (English title: Put Grandma in the Freezer ). Directed by the duo Giancarlo Fontana and Giuseppe Stasi , this black comedy is a refreshing departure from your standard rom-com. The Plot: Desperate Times, Chilly Measures
: The chemistry between Miriam Leone and Fabio De Luigi is the heart of the movie, keeping the audience rooted even as the plot gets increasingly ridiculous.
The story follows (played by the radiant Miriam Leone ), a young art restorer struggling to keep her business afloat while waiting for overdue government payments. Her only financial lifeline? Her grandmother’s pension. When Nonna Birgit suddenly passes away, Claudia—pushed to the brink by her employees—decides to literally "put Nonna in the freezer" to keep the checks coming in.
You can often find it streaming on platforms like Netflix or Prime Video , depending on your region.
