    "In 2018 my grandfather was arrested for child abuse and attempted kidnapping. Now I meet him again and am confronted with his looks, his responses, and my own feelings. Meanwhile, my family gathers at our country house, dealing with the emotional fallout of having grown up with him as a father figure." (Daniel Tornero)
