Japanese Akiko Yamaguchi works as a documentary photographer under the pseudonym DuPont. In recent years, she has often filmed her grandfather Gigi in the company of a red cat named Kinako. These unremarkable at first glance frames are actually filled with piercing meaning.

Akiko's grandfather, a participant in World War II, did not retire until a very old age and continued to work in production. But in 2009, he began to have serious health problems, and he ended up in the hospital for several weeks. As a result, the disease receded, but Gigi could no longer work. By that time he had already become a widower. Life has lost all meaning for Grandfather. He was gloomy and unsociable.

Then Akiko decided to give him a kitten so that Gigi would have someone to take care of. But she did not even dream of such a transformation of her grandfather. Gigi and Kinako have become inseparable friends. 94-year-old man has learned to smile again…
