After the death of her beloved grandmother, a young girl returns home to say her final goodbye. The journey unlocks memories of a childhood marked by her parents' emotional distance, but also of her grandmother's warm embrace. Now, the warmth has faded from her life. Will she manage to get it back? Who knows. Perhaps her grandmother lives somewhere among the stars, has become a glowing star herself, and is watching over her granddaughter to make sure she never feels cold again. Anna Belová's animated film is full of tender kindness that will touch the audience's hearts. The film's score was composed by Haštal Hapka, son of the legendary composer and musician, Petr Hapka. The short was created at Prague's FAMU.
