Rights sold: Latvian
Little Marie loves her grandma very much. Marieās grandma is old and sick, so she canāt move very far from her bedside. Marie is glad to offer her grandma company. They watch TV, read books, and simply chat together. Grandmaās old dog Saku also loves being close to the cheerful woman, because no one else has so much time to scratch his nape. One winter day, Grandma dies and goes to heaven. The same happens to Saku the next spring. Now, the house seems sad, quiet, and boring to little Marie. Yet one day, her father comes home with a puppy. The little pup shares the same birthday as Marieās grandma and comes from the same village, where Marieās grandma worked her first job. Before long, it turns out that the dog is just like Grandma in a number of other ways, too. Has Grandma truly turned into a puppy?
