Plot
A coproduction of companies from France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal, the claymation film recounts the story of Ughetto's grandfather Luigi, who emigrated from Italy to France in the early 1900s for a better life despite widespread anti-Italian discrimination in that era.[4]
As Ughetto never really knew his grandfather, due to Luigi's death when Ughetto was only an infant, the film was based principally on stories told to Ughetto by his grandmother Cesira, Luigi's widow.[4]
