Synopsis

A pilot stranded in the desert meets a child who has fallen from a tiny asteroid and is trying to understand grown-ups. Their conversations — about a rose, a fox, and the planets ruled by absurd men — are a spare argument that what you tend is what makes you responsible.

Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
