A charming literary novel whose characters are torn between innocence and tragedy, their vivid imaginations and harsh reality.

In this book, adults fail to keep their promises. Just like astronauts who fill your head with dreams and never come back, Noé concludes.
Drowning in sorrow, Noé attempts, in the words of a child, to understand the cancer that has killed Beatriz, his mother's beloved partner. He figures out how to process his pain and save himself: he will create a goodbye film.
This debut novel is an irresistible tribute to childhood in all of its fragility, but also in all of its inventiveness and resilience. Adopting the highly unique language of an ingenious and insightful child, Pauline Desmur’s writing is poignant, mischievous, and quite funny.
