The Flying Grandfather

Der fliegende Großvater

Synopsis

A grandfather builds a giant kite with his grandson, but first time they try to fly it, they are pulled up into the sky! Grandma is worried that the pair will catch a cold during their flight and insists on sending warm winter clothes up to them. Chimney sweeps, crane operators, police officers and fire fighters come to help her, and by the time Grandpa and his grandson land at the airport, they are greeted with enthusiasm by a crowd.
