Short description

On planet Perdide, an attack of giant hornets leaves Piel – a young boy – alone in a wrecked car with his dying father. A mayday message reaches their friend Jaffar, an adventurer travelling through space. On board Jaffar’s shuttle are the renegade Prince Matton, his fiancée, and Silbad who knows the planet Perdide well. Thus begins an incredible race across space to save Piel.

What's left behind the scenes

Following the film's release, a 38-page comic book with the same title was published.
This animated feature film is based on the novel “The Orphan of Perdide” (L'orphelin de Perdide, 1958) by French science fiction writer Stefan Wul.
