“My boy, nobody could touch me”, grandpa lies in a sick-bed and tells his grandson of the biggest adventures of his life: Grandpa even defeated monsters. But he was never alone, because a guardian angel protected his life.

“I like Opas Engel because its animation and its story about the passing on of an uncommon treasure are very original.” (Natacha)
