Role in the short[]
Nonno is first seen rowing across the ocean on a quiet night alongside his son Papà and his grandson Bambino where he and Bambino disagree with each other upon trying to get Bambino's hat straight. Seeing the moon below above them, Papà grabs a ladder for his family to climb to which when Bambino climbs up, he and his son observe Bambino reaching the moon as Nonno tells him to continue further. Suddenly, Bambino feels no gravity while at the top of the moon. Arriving there, Papà tells his son that he will rescue him to get him back on their boat to which upon grabbing the anchor, Bambino notices a shooting star pass by as he touches it, Nonno and Papà suddenly arrive on the moon. Papà enters a cabin to get the cleaning supplies out to which he tasks his son to clear away the stars just like him while receiving a broom from his son. Noticing Nonno arguing with Papà, their argument stops upon noticing a shooting star landing on the moon.
Seeing a bigger star, the two cooperate to get it out but they have trouble getting it out. Bambino suddenly touches the star and as the two notice their son climbing on top, Bambino hits it with his tiny hammer to which the big star shatters into regular-sized stars as the two react to the stars falling on the moon to which the two see their son who is safe in joy. Nonno and his family work together in sweeping away the stars just before returning to their boat. Suddenly, Nonno and his family later observe the half-moon at night after an adventure on the moon.
