Love, jealousy, grief, time, teeth… When sixyear-old Sam tackles these questions and what ifs, he turns them into adventures. Always by his side: his cat and best friend Watson, a furry philosopher who once mistook a potato for a phone. Their quirky take on the world is both hilarious and oddly relatable.
