11 year-old Jonas, who has just mourned his father, sets off to Slovakia, on his own, to visit his cool grandpa, Bernard. Yet, loneliness has taken a toll on Bernard, who is now sullen and withdrawn. Determined to help him, Jonas teams up with local tomboy Alex, getting up to crazy ideas that lead to trouble. A summer-imbued adventure of friendship and selflessness that reminds us that dreaming is both invaluable and ageless.
