This is a really touching short animation movie, about a grandpa who loses his wife and -consequently- loses his inspiration to draw. But, when his granddaughter, who obviously loves drawing, starts visiting him, more and more often, it's like she manages to fire up his love and inspiration for drawing. The hand-drawn animation is fantastic and realistic, and the ultimate message is hopeful: no matter what happens, continue doing what you love. There's no dialogue in this film, mainly because it's unnecessary, as I see it, and it's truly unneeded, because every emotion is conveyed without talk in other ways. I recommend it to everyone who wants to watch something simultaneously touching and uplifting, and to everybody who has recently experienced a loss or another traumatic event which makes him want to give up what he/she/it loves, but he/she/it doesn't want to do so.
