Eight-year old inventor Paul yearns to make his alltime dream come true. He wants to have a grandpa, just like all the other children. So he builds himself one, and sets about doing things with him he would never dare do alone. Just as Paul begins to realise that his grandpa could never take the place of a real one, a small miracle happens.
