Summary:

Pierrot (Patrick de Bardine), a 12-year-old French boy, and his sister Nicole (Sylviane Rozenberg) accidentally got a kite that had drifted across the ocean from China. The two and their friends regarded the kite as a treasure. In an antique shop, Pierrot learned that the image on the kite was called Sun Wukong. And he found that the letter tied to the kite was from a Chinese boy named Song Xiaoqing. Pierrot wanted to be friends with Song Xiaoqing very much, but Bebot (Gérard Szymanski) snatched the letter with Song Xiaoqing’s address. Anxious Pierrot prayed to Sun Wukong, who knew that Sun Wukong actually walked down from the kite alive, and not only that, it also satisfied Pierrot’s wish and sent Pierrot and Nicole to China. The brother and sister embarked on a fantasy adventure in this mysterious country.
