It happily acquiesces. The power to grant any worldly possession. And it’s all in the hands of an eleven year old boy.
’Everything You Ever Wanted’ explains what happens when a cornucopia machine washes up on a beach in Portugal. It tells dozens of stories of how society can change when everyone has access to what they need. Two of these stories intersect to tell the adventure tale of eleven year old Gustavo and Machado, the policeman who feels responsible to him. The story takes them around the world and touches on the subjects of genius, kindness and financial unfairness.
