«Se puede saber mucho de una persona por las cosas que extravÃa». Una encantadora y divertida historia sobre paraguas extraviados, teorÃas cientÃficas más que dudosas y una amistad improbable, tierna y divertida.
Where do all the things we lose end up? In Dobbiston, a small town in northwest England, they probably end up in the hands of Mr. Daniels, the veteran caretaker of the local lost and found office. In a remote and inscrutable basement of the dilapidated town hall, this dedicated civil servant has devoted his life to meticulously cataloging and safeguarding the misplaced belongings of his neighbors. Reclusive and with a reputation for being somewhat eccentric—we'll soon discover that's an understatement—he has a very particular methodology. Don't even think about interfering with it!
However, when Toby, a lazy teenager with the outlandish ambition of becoming a rock star, arrives for an internship and to "learn the ropes," the old man's routine is shaken, and his subterranean world, a veritable poetic treasure trove, reveals itself as both a self-imposed prison of solitude and a refuge for his singular and untamed creativity. Reluctantly, they both end up becoming involved in each other's lives.
Full of humor, poignant, and profound, this beautiful comic explores the unexpected friendship between a lost old man and a teenager searching for his identity. Thanks to Dooley's playful nostalgia and unflappable wit, we discover a tender story of grief and overcoming adversity, and also that small gestures—a phrase, an apology, an act of kindness—can have an almost cosmic impact.
