Andris and the Hill clapper

Andris sees the world through a complex network of imaginative connections, which lead him to believe in unusual cause-and-effect relationships. When his beloved grandmother falls ill, an unexpected and mysterious figure enters his life — the Hill tapper, a strange old man with a dog named Jack. Andris soon discovers that this eccentric man is his grandfather, long estranged from the family. The Hill tapper helps Andris and his friends — Kārlis and Dārta — navigate the complexities of life and build bridges between generations.
