An aviator finds himself alone in the desert after a breakdown. He has to repair his aircraft with few resources. An unexpected encounter interrupts the situation: a child asks him for a drawing. Instead of focusing only on the danger, the story makes room for a surprising conversation. The aviator's attempts show that drawing something is not always enough to meet what someone imagines.
