A day in the life of an unusual duo – a mischievous boy and his shadow. I bring my shadow to school; sometimes at midday, it escapes. I spend the afternoon waiting, but it always comes back to me… The story unfolds from morning until evening, punctuated by big questions about shadows… Does my shadow weigh the same as me? Does it have a shadow too?
