Éliott is 12 years old, the age of big dreams and childhood joys. He grew up on Tiga, a microscopic island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. On this island, the children of the very small school have only one immense fear: to pass in sixth grade and having to leave their paradise to go to college. Éliott was luckier: son of the couple of teachers, he took lessons through correspondence and plans to do all his schooling this way. However, unexpected news threatens to disrupt his plans.
