Who knew him best? A seemingly lost poem on a note found in one of the director's grandfather’s old books triggers a magical journey through unreliable memories and half made up stories. An animated documentary portrait of an absent grandfather (a writer) through the charged objects he left behind, the stories of those who knew him, and the imagination of those who didn’t.
