Cornelius' kisses

Cornelius was an old gentleman who had not found love. Sad and alone, he invented. Flying seeds, rakes to miss, flowers on wheels... Gala was an old lady whom everyone called the witch. She was ugly and wrinkled, from a spell cast by a wizard. But one day, with bits of string, nails and paper, Cornelius invented a machine to make kisses, and they flew away by the thousands. And when a few landed on Gala's little wooden cabin, what do you think happened? A tale full of tenderness, where it appears that magic kisses are not reserved for young princes and princesses, but also for this grandmother who will metamorphose and become a wonderful storyteller, thanks to Cornelius and his invention.
