A gentle story of love, loneliness, friendship, and how we can find the courage to return to the place we belong. Art that’s both whimsical and heartfelt combines with a text translated from Mandarin into simple, graceful English to tell the story of the moon, a boy, and the friendship that saves them both from a life lived alone.
