Relationship between an old man & his grandson, 1 November 1998
Author: ging from Oregon

This movie depicts the emotions between an aging grandfather & a very caring young grandson. The young boy is the most understanding one in the family of his grandfather's feelings & in practical ways shows the most concern for him. A very tender, thought-provoking drama.
