Synopsis: A young boy, Sol, is struggling with his confidence. He still can’t tie his own shoelaces, but with his Grandad’s gentle encouragement, he learns the craft of spoon carving and his sense of self-worth is slowly rekindled. On his way home, Sol encounters Eliot, who bullies him about his precious relationship with his Grandfather. Sol must find a way to overcome the doubts now sown in his mind, and return to Grandad’s house to finish the spoon. The experience also reinforces Eliot’s awareness of his own loneliness, which prompts him to decide to reach out to someone who cares.
