Synopsis

Rights sold: Lithuanian

At first, it was the three of them: Mamma, Papa, and the boy. The boy is the family nest egg and all his siblings have long since gone off to work or school, so he spends days with his grandparents instead of at preschool. Mamma and Papa don’t go to work or school, either, so the boy fits with them as perfectly as jam and pancakes. Then, Mamma gets sick and passes away, leaving the boy and Papa to adapt to life together as just the two of them. The tandem exercises till their bones creak, learn how to make the world’s best sauce, listen to the symphony of leaves falling in the autumn wind, and collect all kinds of other memories. There’s no doubt that together, they can get through even the most difficult moments. They pull it off so well that you could even call Papa an expert life-enjoyer. The boy hopes that someday, he'll be just as good as Papa at doing just that.
