Synopsis

In a playground, a boy befriends a reclusive 'troll' by leaving incomplete chalk drawings at the cave's entrance. Each day, the troll adds to the drawings, leading to a shared portrait of them holding hands. The boy realises the 'troll' is just another boy like him. Their silent collaboration draws other children to join, transforming the playground into a vibrant space of creativity and friendship.
