Description

A dazzling story about lovefor the stars, and for one anotherbetween two young people, set in the multicultural city of Montr?l.

Every day, Yakov takes his sisters to the park. Hes supposed to look after them, but their games are boring, so he reads about space and dreams of becoming an astronaut instead. His father, though, has other plans: he wants Yakov to take over his grocery store when he grows up.

Yakovs world changes when at the park one day, he comes across a girl also reading a book about space. A?ha has moved into the house right behind his, and the two become inseparable. Together, they search for constellations, check out astronomy books from the library, and marvel at the night sky. However, their fathers fear they are growing too close. They are forbidden from spending time together, and A?ha eventually moves away.
