River Boy

Jess and her parents take her grandfather back to his childhood home so that he can finish his last painting `River Boy'. Jess is desperately trying to cope with the knowledge that her grandfather is dying and she does her best to help him finish the painting that is so important to him. While
swimming in the river, Jess meets a boy who challenges her to swim down the river to the sea, and when Jess learns this was one of her grandfather's childhood ambitions she swims after the `River Boy' to the mouth of the river, where he disappears. Jess then learns that her grandfather has died
peacefully, leaving her his painting of the `River Boy' - a self-portrait.
