In this book, Max’s parents suggest Max living with his grandfather in the south of Brazil for a few days, and Max agrees. During the time he spends with his grandparents, Max makes major discoveries about his own ancestry: Their Birthplace in Germany, their childhood situation, and reasons for moving to Brazil. In addition, Max learns about German culture through the food his grandfather made and some of the urban architectures.
