An alien, Bur, comes to planet Earth to see how humans live. And here's what he sees: A man inside a restaurant eating roasted chickens, one after the other. A fly sits on a crumb beside him. A fly that sees everything; a child on a beach. Everyone around is sunbathing, but this one silently tosses seashells into the sea. He watches them sink and beams with joy.

An old kiosk owner inside an old kiosk. As soon as he sees Bur, he smiles and offers him an old candy; a usher in a cinema, during the last showing. She’s slumped tiredly in a seat, holding a dead flashlight in her lap; a small student at the last desk in class, during art time. While all the other kids are drawing race cars and fire trucks, he is drawing the juiciest hamburgers in the world.

A city bus driver. He is very bored because he has been taking the same route for 20 years now. Until he hits the brakes in front of a brand new refreshment stand and chooses the coldest lemonade in the universe; a mother telling a fairy tale to her child. A fairy tale that talks about Bur. As soon as she finishes the story, the child looks at Bur and breaks into the most satisfying smile that exists on planet Earth.

Seven stories about the peculiar lives of people, through the eyes of an alien. Seven stories that weigh, all together, half a kilo. Half a kilo of planet.
