This film tells the story of a solitary shepherd who patiently plants and nurtures a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid surroundings into a thriving oasis.
Undeterred by two World Wars, and without any thought of personal reward, the sheperd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with the greatest care.
As if by magic, a landscape that seemed condemned grows green again.
A film of great beauty and hope, this story is a remarkable parable for all ages and an inspiring testament to the power of one person.
