It shows each moment the boy spends with his grandfather when he is younger and flicks it forward in time. It shows the boy with his girlfriend who runs to tell the boy about his grandfather. The boys grandfather dies and at the end and shows how the boy copes. Halfway through the video the boy is lying in bed remembering his grandfather, quite like Professor Green did with his grandmother. [3]
