Het Wonder van Le Petit Prince plot

Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's famous philosophical (children's) book about friendship, love and respect is one of the most translated literary works in the world. In this documentary, Marjoleine Boonstra travels to the people who converted this little masterpiece from French into Tibetan, Tamazight (North Africa), Sámi (northern Finland and Scandinavia) or Nawat (El Salvador) – all endangered languages . Passionate linguists, teachers and translators tell how the observations of the alien prince on Earth are read and interpreted in their culture. They talk about the first time they read the book and of course their linguistic problems; how do you translate 'water tap' if there is no word for it in your world?
