Night on the Galactic Railroad

What does true happiness mean? For Giovanni, the answer lies as distant as the stars themselves. Plagued by hardship, the young kitten bears burdens far too heavy for his age. At school, he endures the mockery and taunts of his classmates; after classes end, he labors at a meager job just to earn enough for bread. At home, rather than being cared for by his mother, he is the one who must look after her. The sole glimmer of hope is the Star Festival, where he longs to encounter Campanella—his only friend. Yet when they finally come together, it is not while gazing upward at the night sky, but while voyaging through it, as the Galactic Railroad carries them both toward an unknown destination.
