Edith is a little girl who is different from the others. At her birth she received two gifts: the gift of bringing objetcts to life, and another one, wich turns out to be a curse: the Eternal Childhood. By the time she turns hundred, she is still a little girl and lives with her dog and a cute little lemon to whom she gave life. The lemon, Ikki, is going to help her realize her dream: to get rid of that curse. To grow up, make friends, maybe someday become a mother and even to grow old and yes, eventually die one day. To live a real life.

This album is an ode to life. Life that is imperfect at best. The life we ​​cherish like a slightly clumsy drawing, because they are often the most beautiful.

Written in French and Dutch, my two languages.
It is translated by the wonderful Antonty Shugaar
