Synopsis

Young Jan is on a mission to bring love back into his widowed father Peter's life. But when Peter dismisses the charming Lisa, Jan turns to an unexpected source for help—his mother in heaven. Suddenly, with a sprinkle of magic, his loyal dog and playful pet pig find their voices. As chaos and comedy ensue, these unlikely matchmakers embark on a heartwarming adventure to show Peter that love can come in the most surprising forms. With a dash of animal antics and a lot of heart, this tale blends laughter, family bonds, and romance into a delightful journey that proves sometimes the best advice comes from the most unexpected friends.
