In a journey filled with fantasy and reflection, a pilot finds himself stranded in the Sahara desert after an unexpected accident. While he tries to fix his plane, he encounters a mysterious boy who comes from a small asteroid. This little prince, with golden hair and insatiable curiosity, tells the pilot about his distant home and the strange adventures he experienced on his journey across various planets.
As the pilot listens, he delves into a tale of tenderness and teaching, where the prince meets a series of peculiar characters: a king without subjects, a vain man who seeks only admiration, a drunkard who drowns his sadness in alcohol, and a geographer who never explores. Each encounter offers the prince valuable lessons about life, love, and solitude.
Through striking animations and beautiful live-action scenes, the story weaves the simplicity of childhood with the complexity of the adult world, highlighting the importance of seeing beyond the superficial. With each revelation, the pilot realizes that the wisdom of the boy goes beyond his naive appearance. Friendship, love, and the quest for the essential are the themes that resonate as time passes and the reality of the desert intertwines with the fantastic tales of the little prince. In a journey of self-discovery, both characters will learn that what truly matters cannot be seen with the eyes but with the heart.
