Little Sandu is only five years old, but that said, he is very daring. If he walks quick enough, he makes a bet that, by following the sun, he can meet up with his friends the following day at the same time, the same place. He so decides to cross town all by himself, armed with his hoop and a few pieces of stained glass, through which reality turns into magic. On his sunny journey, the world opens itself up to him in the course of day which seems too short for him to be able to go all round it.
