A child wakes up at night and sees a white horse waiting for her. She sits on its back and fly through the sky. They visit Julian but he is not able to join them. The girl and the horse fly to the moon where more white horses live.

C'est le vent qui m'a réveillée.
Le cheval était là, immobile, encore
plus beau que dans mon rêve.
Il a fait signe de me dépêcher.
Nous devions partir.
