about
The film is a touching and heartfelt exploration of a grandson's journey along with his grandfather to uncover the truth about their family's past as refugees from Bessarabia. The movie follows the grandson, Dan, as he films his grandpa recounting memories and seeking information about his birth and his relatives in Moldova.
Through their journey, they have emotional encounters with people of Moldova and navigate bureaucratic challenges in their search for answers. Along the way, the bond between Dan and his grandpa, Victor, grows stronger, and the film captures the significance of listening to and caring for our elders.
