Overview

Young Charlie adores his grandfather Walter. Walter, who is dying, is building a sailing vessel on his farm, far from the sea and seemingly cannot live to see the boat launched. David, Charlie’s father and Walter’s son-in-law lost his wife some time before and has now lost his faith in God as well. He argues with Walter about Walter's persistence in telling Charlie to have faith that they will sail the boat together soon, as David knows Walter will not live long enough to do so. But sometimes miracles happen.
