Pap urges Bambino to use a pushbroom on the stars, while Nonno favors a besom broom. As they quarrel, a huge star crashes down on the moon it is far too large for any of them to move by themselves. Turning his cap backwards, the way he wants to wear it, Bambino climbs onto the star and taps it with a hammer. It bursts apart into hundreds of smaller stars, and all three go to work sweeping them to one side, with Bambino choosing a rake instead of either mans broom. Once the job is done, they climb back down into their boat and look up at the moon, which now displays a glowing crescent phase thanks to their efforts.The plot was inspired by Casarosas childhood and tales by Antoine de SaintExupry and Italo Calvino. The style comes from Hayao Miyazakis anime and from La Linea by the Italian cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli. ........
