Today is a very special day - grandpa turns 80 years old!
All his life grandpa has always done only "what is right" and what others have told him to do. When he was a child, he obeyed his parents, after starting a family, his wife and daughters, and today he obeys his grandchildren. Grandpa has never rebelled, but today he wants to let go of all routines and rules. So grandpa tries everything forbidden - he drives the car too fast, goes wherever the road leads, walks by the sea for as long as he wants, eats unhealthy food and dyes his gray hair completely black!
Writer-illustrator Rebeka Lukošus lets grandpa do whatever he wants, until he starts missing his family again and returns home to his loved ones.
In a gentle way, the book helps to narrow the gap between generations, increasing empathy between generations. With its warm tone, it offers a humorous and witty view on the question of how to balance between independent self-determination and adaptation to the rules of the the society.
