Synopsis: An emotional story about a grandson who does everything possible to fulfil his grandmother’s dream of the forest. While looking through an old photo-album of his grand parents’ childhood memories, he secretly decides to help get his grand-mother out of the desolation of her daily routine. He sacrifices himself by taking on all the work and even giving up beloved toys. The trip into the forest leads to a wonderful transformation as step by step she becomes ever more familiar with it. The fresh forest air, the smell of tree resin, the splashing of the stream and the birdsong all bring back memories of her youth and the spirit of life. And finally, she once again finds her place and is centred.
