A young prince embarks on a journey to find a cure for his beloved Rose, encountering mythical beings that embody the challenges of adulthood—such as the loss of creativity and the pressures of responsibility. Along the way, the story explores themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and the inevitable passage of time. On his journey, the prince discovers that the rose he sought to save has already withered. Overcome with despair, he feels his quest has been in vain. But then he encounters a wise, mythical wolf—unlike any being he's met before. The prince confides in the wolf, revealing that along his journey, he has only encountered the fear and burden of adulthood. The Wolf teaches him that life isn’t defined by wealth or occupation, but by the responsibility we bear for those we care for—and that, in the end, is worth more than any gold.
Based on 'The Little Prince' novella written and illustrated by French writer and military pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 1943
