Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A young boy comes of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise awaits the boy as he discovers his family's most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?

A young lad sets off early one morning with his father and grandfather in their fishing boat for his first ever day at work. Amidst a calm sea, they stop and soon the lad is sent up into the heavens - with the anchor. Where to? Well it's soon clear that, armed with their brooms, their job is to sweep up the star dust that lands on the moon - and his elders cannot always agree on the best strategy! Their daily job done, and after quite a bit of initiative from the young man with a particularly stubborn star - they descend leaving a perfect crescent to reflect the sunlight. It's a charming little seven minute piece of cinema, this - the animation and the music marry really engagingly as the youngster realises just what he is going to be doing for a living! Well worth a few minutes of your time - it will put a smile on your face.
