A cardboard boy. A cardboard box. A make-believe cardboard boy inside a cardboard box. Dodu, a cardboard boy, is very sensitive and lives in a city hostile to children. So he spends many hours indoors, playing with Carica, his ladybird friend. Every time Dodu scratches the surface of the cardboard box, he creates wonderful worlds inhabited by unusual creatures that help him deal with his emotions and grow up.
