Description
Here is the story of Petites Lunettes and her love for her father. Papa Arthur loves her too, but he has a weakness for cars. These cars become entertwined with her life: she grows up with them, is bathed in their music, and they will eventually take her away from the beloved island where her family lives. But some cars have wings that can circle back to close the loop on the scenic road of love!
