The movie follows Otto, the grouch of the neighborhood, as he goes through his daily routine like clockwork.
The odd part is that a character like this tends to push people away yet you see half the neighborhood gravitate towards him due to various reason. From his interactions and flashbacks we get a clearer picture of this person. It's this that gets you invested in all the little things that happen to both him and the people around him.
The movie doesn't shy away from darker themes either. Also I'd like to note that this kind of "grumpy grandpa" character tends to be old fashioned so it was nice of them to soften him a bit when an LGBTQ character appeared.
Emotional, sweet and memorable. This movie hits hard.
