Browsing pages of the stories contained in this collection, the reader ends up taking the parts of characters from the soul wound that, in complex and unfavorable situations, show all their attachment to existence : a prisoner who runs the night to escape to his captors ; two young newlyweds whothey turn their prayers to a god trapped in the rock; a star that has lost contact with its constellation and shines lonely in space; three friends for whom a night walk becomes a special occasion to reflect on their identity and their future; a middle-aged woman who leads a life, suspended between past and present, sad and uncertain. For various reasons, they are found in the cosmos, in Iraq, in Egypt , on a desert island , in a provincial town. Each of them is a tribute to hope and life.
