Overview
During a routine visit to Grandpa, who has lived in the same small, cramped, and neglected apartment for 54 years, Grandpa declared emphatically - "I will never move!" Grandpa suffers from compulsive hoarding, which is rooted in the displacement of his family from their home in Baghdad, Iraq, without names, possessions, or dates of birth. A year passes, Grandpa's health changes, and suddenly - there is no choice but to move him to a new apartment with an elevator.
