Overview
Un garçon part en voyage avec son père pour qu’il retrouve son esprit d’enfant.
Abel, huit ans, vit avec son papa dans une grande ville qui ressemble à un escargot. Dans son quartier, il a ses repères favoris : l’épicerie et la petite cantine. La famille qui entoure Abel rend son enfance heureuse et douce. Les weekends avec sa marraine Manue et les vacances d’été avec Mamichat se transforment en refuge. Il y est à l’abri de l’âge adulte. Abel voudrait aussi que son papa retrouve son esprit d’enfant pour éviter que le travail, les responsabilités et les tâches du quotidien ne deviennent les écueils qui le feraient sombrer dans la grisaille.
L’album musical comprend la narration du conte et 9 chansons. En plus du disque, un code unique pour le téléchargement des enregistrements est inclus.
Eight-year-old Abel lives with his dad in a big city that looks like a snail. In his neighborhood, he has his favorite landmarks whether it be the local grocery store or the little fast food joint at the end of his street. Overall, he is quite satisfied with his life, often spending his weekends with his godmother Manue and, during the summer, at his grandmother's house. If only his father could act like a child more often and not get caught up in his work… This musical tale in French explores the adult world through the fresh eyes of a child. It's a naïve, touching portrait of family life when there's only one parent.
