Le merveilleux dialogue d'un enfant et d'un loup aux destins extraordinaires... Dans un zoo, une enfant et un vieux loup borgne se fixent, oeil dans l'oeil. Tout la vie du loup défile au fond de son oeil : une vie sauvage en Alaska, une espèce menacée par les hommes. L'oeil de l'enfant raconte la vie d'un petit Africain qui a parcouru toute l'Afrique pour survivre, et qui possède un don précieux : celui de conter des histoires qui font rire et rêver.
