Edmond is not like everybody else. When his co-workers jokingly crown
him with a pair of donkey ears, he suddenly discovers his true nature. And
while he enjoys his new identity, it creates an ever-widening chasm between
himself and others. With great empathy, Franck Dion tells the touching story
of an outsider, illustrating the challenges of being true to oneself in a
world filled with social conformists. Since he can’t bring himself to be what
others expect, Edmond makes the only possible choice.
