A 20-something Birmingham native with an identity crisis is on a quest to find herself and explore her heritage, through the legacy of her jolly, gambling, allotment-obsessed, storytelling grandfather.
Abuelo follows the journey of a young black woman experiencing change, with little sense of identity. But Grandad is undoubtedly sure of himself, despite leaving everything behind in the Caribbean at the age of 16 to make a new life in Great Britain. So what can we learn from generations?
