Fleeing their village, two children set out as their father did, to seek a better world. It is the beginning of a long journey for these two “migrants”. They will meet the capitalist ogre, the snake-smuggler, the treacherous sirens or the metal fortress. They also encounter other travelers, the Peacock or the Silent One. Together they will walk the long and steep road to the Promised Land, with the caring help of the Shadows.

Jean Loup, 10, is inexhaustibly curious, but afraid of everything. His imagination is his refuge, and he struggles to keep his feet on the ground. One day, while his teacher is entering him in an eloquence contest, the media announces that a meteorite is approaching Earth. To win one and deflect the other, Jean Loup embarks on an incredible adventure.
