"This scary story is a surreal parable, full of symbols that allude to the hostility
of certain realities, while helping us reflect on the price of dreams,
the consequences of migration, and the love of family. It fosters values such
as leadership, solidarity, the power of decision, the sense of adventure,
and the inventiveness to transform our own lives."
