Synopsis

In a quiet meadow, a lonely little fir tree dreams of belonging. Each Christmas, a kind father brings the tree to his home, decorating it beautifully to bring joy to his bedridden son. After the festivities, the tree is returned to the meadow. Over the years, this tradition continues, until one special Christmas when the boy, now able to walk, visits the tree in the forest, filling its heart with happiness.
