A young boy discovers a wondrous tree that provides him with apples, shade, and a place to play. As he grows, the tree continues to give, offering her branches, her trunk, and eventually her very existence to satisfy the boy's ever-increasing needs. Through this bittersweet tale, we witness the profound love and sacrifice that can exist between a person and nature.
