A tender, slow-paced coming-of-age story about an unlikely intergenerational friendship that bridges grief and isolation through quiet moments of understanding.

Eight-year-old Cody is spending the summer in an unfamiliar setting with his mom Kathy. Though he can't relate to the neighbourhood kids, things take an unexpected turn when he develops an unusual friendship with the widowed old man from next door.
