Grandfather's Father Synopsis
In this film a young man and his curmudgeonly grandfather are going 1,800 km to northern Russia in an old Zhiguli car, hoping to find the grave of their great-grandfather, who was deported. The grandfather Andris is sceptic over the lofty quest, initiated by his grand-son, as it’s not known what awaits them at their destination. Andris thinks they won’t find anything and will come back to Latvia without ever learning what happened to his father. However ever-optimistic Kārlis wants to use the journey not only to find answers about the past but also become closer to his grandfather who raised him. They both lost their parents as children.
Grandfather's Father (2016) is a documentary film directed by Kārlis Lesiņš, released on October 1, 2016 with a runtime of 26m. It stars Andris Fridrihsons and Kārlis Lesiņš.
