On the hottest day of the summer, a group of cousins boil on their grandmother's plastic-covered couch. Kicked outside to play in the open fire hydrant, the kids accidentally splash water on a baby, who happens to be the grandchild of the meanest Doña on the block.
Bouquet
Sometimes friendship grows from a bouquet of flowers... and from an encounter across generations.
Mission Popo
In a futuristic city, a grandma embarks on an epic journey on her macaroni penguin bike – all to feed her family.
The Qingming Kid
A Chinese-American boy wants to celebrate his birthday. Instead, to observe the Qingming Festival, he must follow tradition and pay respects at the graveyard to his grandfather who he’s never met.

Many things can be passed down through generations, including imagination. This collection of shorts celebrates different intergenerational relationships, adventures, and memories, proving that Grandparents sprinkle a dose of magic in our lives!
