"Well...", said the old woman. "Once you have discovered what is necessary, you must find out for yourself what the ultimate secret of love is, with which everything can be healed." Mysterious things are happening in the small French town. Someone is secretly cutting a piece of fabric in the shape of a star from the clothing of respectable citizens. Some claim to have seen a boy wandering around with scissors. But why? It is ten-year-old Michel, who is desperately trying to save his seriously ill friend Eri. He receives help from the old Herminia, who is convinced that Eri has not received enough love. Only a sewn heart made of stars can give Michel's little friend what she so urgently needs. However, he must first find nine people who love deeply in different ways. The secret of the tenth way, however, Michel must discover for himself.
