Synopsis: Lily Tomlin stars as the brutally honest Elle, who has just gotten through breaking up with her much younger girlfriend Olivia, when Elle’s granddaughter Sage unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep needing $600 for an abortion before sundown. Temporarily broke, Grandma Elle and Sage spend the day trying to get their hands on the cash as their unannounced visits to old friends and flames end up rattling skeletons and digging up secrets. If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to have Tomlin as your straight-shooting grandmother, “Grandma” is the fix you need for the lack of that in your real life.
