Accompanied by his mother during a short summer stay in his grandmother’s small town, 5-year-old Giulio spends time in front of the house, while the other children play in the alleys of the village. Jokingly mistaking the daily gestures of an elderly neighbour, Giulio decides to imitate him. The game will lead him to make new discoveries and new friends.
