- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes a world with its own rules. Leaves you with ideas to chew on afterwards.

A teenager adores his sailor friend. He dreams about the exotic countries, marvellous starry skies and the inevitable homesickness that would bring his friend back to him. In a colourful series of mythical referential images, his fragile dreams get so unreal, that the enthusiasm for seeing his friend again turns into anxiousness.
