10-årige Anton har et projekt. Hans far, der var pilot, er død i en ulykke, men Anton vil ikke tro, at han er sådan rigtig død. I baggårdens garage bygger han sin egen propelflyver, så han kan flyve ud for at finde ham.

Anton is 10 years old. Anton's father was a jet fighter pilot who died in an accident. Anton's mother told Anton that his father is flying angels around in heaven. Anton is obsessed with aeroplanes (his bedroom is full of models and posters) and is (re-)building a full-size aeroplane in the Garage. He plans to use this aeroplane to fly up to his father. The film is about Anton coming to terms with his father's death and about friends, enemies and first love.
