Description:


    The movie is a tribute to the geniality of my grandpa and his love for humanity. It’s a realistic scene from my grandpa’s and grandma’s life that shows grandma’s inability to understand grandpa’s strong personality. It’s an exaggerated attempt to mimic my grandpa ́slight-speed thinking in 25 frames per second.
