A comme Azur
Overview / Aperçu
L’école est finie. Benjamin a cinq ans et part en vacances à la mer avec Kathy, sa mère, et Charlotte, sa grande sœur de 12 ans. A comme Azur est la chronique de cet été qui déroule toutes les lettres de l’alphabet. Le temps d’une vacance et de 26 lettres, Benjamin grandit un peu. Il vit sa première blessure sentimentale. Et c’est ainsi qu’il se donne au monde, au vaste monde qui se cache derrière les mots.

A comme Azur is the chronicle of this summer through the letters of the alphabet. During a holiday and 26 letters, Benjamin experiences his first sentimental pain and grows up.
