That afternoon the boy's house is full of people, all dressed in black for a reception, but one important person isn't there: his grandmother. The boy's grandfather feels her absence too, and sits alone, lost in thought.

T

he boy decides to get outside and go for a walk in the snowy countryside, and what could be a sad story turns into the opposite: all the beauty he sees in nature reminds him of the precious moments he shared with his grandmother. When his grandfather comes to fetch him, he realises she is still with them both after all.
