I thought this was a beautiful movie. The movie is set in a picturesque alpine village where life seems so much simpler than in a modern Australian city. It was nice to "escape" for an hour and a half.
An 8 year old boy, Tom, is taken by his father to stay with his grandfather (who he does not know) for a while. The boy is at first reluctant to stay with his grandfather, but over the course of the movie the affection between the two grows. The boy's mother disappeared in the Alps five years previously, and the boy seems obsessed with finding out more about the circumstances of her disappearance. Is she dead? Could she still be alive?
Tom goes to school in the village, and makes friends with an older boy. They have adventures together as Tom tries to work out ways to get higher in the Alps to look for his lost mother.
The movie ends on a positive note, with a reconciliation between the boy and his distant father.
