In this AI-assisted short biopic film about my grandfather, a young boy's vivid imagination and conversations with animated characters guide him through the harrowing challenges of the Great Depression, brutal Jesuit schooling, and the life-altering trials of war, as he grows to reclaim his past by becoming the very thing that once traumatized him: a teacher.
