"That's how it started. One night his father came home all happy. He announced that he had found a job in town, a good job. Benjamin didn't understand right away." (...) This album is about a child who goes from life in the country to life in the city. Benjamin must suddenly leave everything behind: his friends, his neighbours, his cherry tree in the garden. He has to move (but how can he fit everything into a box?), as well as the new way of living in the city, which is all to be discovered from his new window: The big square, the urban landscape, the swarming of the little humans living underneath... It's only after a good while, during which everything seems unacceptable, ugly and smelly, and thanks to a providential meeting that Benjamin finally decides to go out and start his "new life" as a city kid...
