There is Clo, a penniless artist who has her moments of doubt; Trotte the dog, a contractor who is in debt because he bought 6421 kilos of apples and does not know what to do with them; there is also Lulu, the neighbour who grows chard; and Ibrahim, an apprentice sorcerer who is turning into a cook... And all these incredible characters are joined in a common fight: to find a way to use all these apples and turn them into money! This very funny story is told in four chapters, with small expressive drawings and dialogues that are full of wit. It's all about friendship and sharing, resourcefulness and creativity. And the unexpected solution to the problem will delight everyone!
