A heartfelt and charmingly animated tale about life and remembering those who are no longer with us.
A heartfelt and charmingly animated tale about life and remembering those who are no longer with us. A little boy and his grandfather fly a kite together in the countryside. Both are made of paper, and each layer represents how much precious time they have left on earth. Sharing these cherished moments, the grandfather is painfully aware that he does not have many layers left. Then one day, a soft breeze carries him up into the sky.
