The end scene of
Granpa
(1989,
see full movie).
Granpa dies, and the girl can't find him.
Dad was never old and infirm like this, but he still left behind the empty chair and the sad grandchildren.
Don't watch this unless you're ready to cry at the sadness and beauty of human life.
Clip from the film
And When Did You Last See Your Father?
(2007).
I never had a difficult relationship with Dad like the hero does here,
but I can still relate to the bittersweet sadness of leaving home to go off to university.
