There is no textbook for such a situation. Carried by the promise of a birth which will prolong the existence of his son, the sexagenarian decides to meet the young, fierce and indomitable Flemish surrogate. The two are your typical odd couple, but their bond is stronger than any differences they may naturally have.

Luchini - as is customary for him - hits every right note in this funny and moving story, which is beautifully paced and includes some gorgeous Ghent scenery. A must-watch for any grandparent.
