Synopsis
Dendelion, Baraban, Léonto, and Taraxa, four dandelion achenes who survived a series of nuclear explosions that destroyed Earth, find themselves hurled into the cosmos. After crashing on an unknown planet, they set out in search of a land where their species can survive. But the elements, the fauna, the flora, and the climate all pose challenges they must overcome.
