Synopsis

Sirius, a lone star in the form of a dark-skinned man, has collapsed to earth. What little space he found on his host planet, he works to provide food and shelter for him and his wife, Angèle. One winter's day, the firmament calls him back, Sirius takes the long way leaving his wife behind. Their journey tells of the fertility of this sojourn for Sirius. The story that's often overlooked, that of how the earth fed the sky.
