The life of a little girl named Una turns upside down when her grandfather is abducted by aliens. In the basement of her house she accidentally finds out that grandpa is himself an alien whose ship fell on the Earth a long time ago. His pilot, a grumpy little robot, stayed here as well. The two of them have less than 24 hours to find grandpa and save him. The Croatian sci-fi for children uses cutting-edge techniques and special effects so far unprecedented in Croatian cinema. This extraordinary adventure is based on Irena Krčelić’s story Moj dida je vanzemaljac and features a heart-warming tale of friendship, love and honesty.
