- 2010 Winner Don Quixote AwardIn emphatic tones, transported by the personal drama of the two grandmothers, "Lola" illustrates the way life functions in Manila: the police, the courtrooms, the prisons, etc. What is a human life worth in the 21st century? Money in an envelope, handed over in a restaurant.
- 2010 Winner Ecumenical Jury AwardIn Manila, the fates of two grandmothers cross paths: the grandson of one of the women has murdered the grandson of the other. While the victim's grandmother seeks justice and struggles to scratch together money for his funeral, the culprit's grandmother fights to have him freed through an extrajudicial financial agreement. Even through the limits between good and evil, victims and perpetrators are well-defined, both grandmothers are united in their struggle for the survival of their families in everyday life. With a documentary precision, the filmmaker transports us into a context that embraces the reality of death, justice, poverty and the quest for honor.
