A young child notices his Nunna's withdrawing from many of the activites they did together. She will no longer play or read books to the child. Concerned, the child questions the mother who explains that Nunna has Parkinson's Disease, what it is and what it does to Nunna. It shows the child that one can combat the effects of Parkinson's and live a fullfilled life.
