What is Our Cosmic Dust about?

The story stars little Shotaro, a curious schoolboy whose dad has died.

Their journey is full of strange, weird and wonderful characters, each with their own story of love, loss, and the marvellous craziness of life.

A poignant tale with joy at its heart, there are sweet moments of humour and wonder to remind us that even when we're mourning someone, there's space to laugh and enjoy life. This heartfelt and imaginative story reveals the ways we find guidance in others and solace in the vastness of the universe. Seen through the innocent eyes of a child, it is incredibly moving.
