Filmmaker Statement

The film explains that none of us are here forever and that all living creatures must die, but also to show that death doesn’t mean the end of our journey. A little boy visits his old grandfather in the countryside and they fly a kite together. They are both made out of layers, which symbolize their age. The boy has many of these layers. He is perspective, because he has all his life before him. But grandfather, on the other hand, has already lost most of his layers and he has only few left. As he gets older, he also gets thinner, and at the end of his life, he is as thin as a sheet of paper. One day, the wind just softly blows him away and takes him up to the sky… The project is realised in co-production of BFILM.cz (CZ), FAMU (CZ) and CeTA studio (PL).
