Aldabra: The Tortoise Who Loved Shakespeare (Aldabra)

Eya, ten-year-old Eliza's grandmother, believes that death can be tricked—one just needs to transform into someone else and move on. Eliza loves her eccentric grandmother, with whom she shares not only the first letter of her name but also a passion for art and Shakespeare: when Eliza visits, they act out and read his plays, and Eya paints pictures and teaches her granddaughter wisdom. Eliza admits that her grandmother is a bit strange and has changed a lot and aged recently. However, she has no one to share her worries with—her grandmother and Eliza's mother are in a deep quarrel over long-standing misunderstandings and past grievances. But when Grandma Eya suddenly begins dreaming of an unknown Aldabra and changes by leaps and bounds, becoming increasingly unlike herself, Eliza understands that without her help and support, Grandma will not be able to realize her dream and gain the freedom she desires.
