Synopsis
Feature-length animated film based on the stories of Arnošt Goldflam. Tomi (4), his sister Suzana (8), and brother Derek (10) visit their grandfather during a pivotal moment in their lives. Suzana takes on the role of the storyteller of magical tales, just as their grandmother once did, bringing joy into the house with her boundless imagination. These stories are not only entertaining, dramatic, sad, and funny but also help all family members cope with the loss of their grandmother.

Warm, sincere, and artistically perfected, the film discusses loss, memory, and the love that remains. Using sophisticated stop-motion animation, it takes the audience into a world where sadness and beauty intertwine, gently raising the topics of transience and acceptance.
While elegantly reawakening childhood hopes and fears, the screenplay also delves into loss and the power of family connections across generations, doing so with a tinge of lightness and an understanding of a child’s view of the world.
