Synopsis
Cessie's grandfather, Popsicle, arrives unexpectedly, only to be placed in a nursing home called Shangri-La. Determined to help him, Cessie embarks on a journey to uncover his fragmented memories of World War II—memories of a lifeboat, a tin of condensed milk, and the harrowing Dunkirk evacuation. Together, they strive to piece together his past and heal old wounds.
