A screen version of Boris Vian’s novel, selected among the top ten best books of the 20^th century. An incredibly beautiful and poignant love story taking place in a fantastic world, where lovers fly on pink clouds and dance on the ceiling, where the sun lives in the hall of  an ordinary flat and housekeeping mice talk to cats, where flowers grow inside people and the warmth of human hearts can overpower the most deadly weapons.
