Do means justify ends? When an old lady's happiness is at stake, there is no question.

"Do not see me fall. Dead inside, but standing tall. Like a tree.”

A married old couple spends their days regretting that their beloved grandson left. Mr. Balboa, in order to help with his wife’s sadness, fakes letters and pretends they are written by their grandson. One day, a real letter saying he is coming back arrives. The grandson decides to come back home to get some money, but the boat sinks. Balboa hires an imitator, together with a very nice girl, who pretends to be the lost grandson in front of the grandmother. But the evil and real grandson arrives by surprise: he is not dead as they thought.
