Synopsis
With a long-absent father and an ailing mother, Giovanni is a kid who simply isn't allowed a childhood. He must work to keep food on the table, but he is mercilessly teased by schoolmates who simply don't understand his situation. All except for Campanella, son of his father's friend. On the night of the Festival of the Stars, Giovanni and Campanella both find themselves aboard the Galactic Railroad, a phantom train that takes them to places they never dreamed existed ... but the truth of this train is something that Giovanni could never be truly prepared for.
