During a hot morning a little monster decides to wrap himself around the hair of a kid. The kid doesn’t know how to handle the situation, he doesn’t know what this new situation involves and at the end decides to spend his days together with the little monster. Soon they become good friends. But one day the kid makes a deadly discovery: the little monster has the power, anytime he likes, to take the kid’s breath away and stop him from speaking. As long as is it possible to live in apnea? Until the monster goes away… maybe.

• Fear can be a little monster always next to us, little by little it takes our breath away leaving us out of breath… But soon enough it’s an April morning and the little monster goes away allowing us to breathe deeply.
