Taking place in a Manhattan apartment building, Max's life as a favourite pet is turned upside down, when his owner brings home a sloppy mongrel named Duke.

 LISTEN TO YOUR HEART 
At the heart of it all is The Little Girl who meets the Aviator who introduces his new friend to an extraordinary world where anything is possible. A world that he himself was initiated into long ago by THE LITTLE PRINCE. It's here that The Little Girl's magical and emotional journey into her own imagination - and into the universe of The Little Prince - begins. And it's where The Little Girl rediscovers her childhood and learns that ultimately, it's human connections that matter most, and that what's truly essential can only be seen with the heart.
