– Midnight, have you ever crossed the Lost Woods?
– Meow, replied Midnight.
– Right, muttered Noël, you’re a cat. And cats don’t talk.
Midnight gave him an offended look. Making his little face tight and pinched, he replied:
– Just because we meow doesn’t mean we don’t talk.

At the edge of the Lost Woods, Noël has found a cat, whom he named Midnight.
What better guide than this one to find his way through this mysterious forest, which seems to have no end?
A poetic and initiatory dialogue unfolds with the cat:
Noël will discover how the magic of words allows one to tame the world.
