A testimony of a bond between Jake, then aged 18, and his Grandfather who died in October 1999. Jake, who is to have his Grandfathers name tattooed on his arm, influenced the film, which was shot by his Mother. This eleven minute film shows the development of a reluctant protangonist, growing into an eloquent young man, talking honestly and openly about his relationship with his Grandfather, of love, friendship, loss and respect.
Director Karen Rawlinson
