The Man who Planted Trees
Visual tales (50 minutes) by the Cie Andrayas
“The man who planted trees” is a visual tale (50 min), inspired by a little text from Jean Giono.
It tells us the friendship of a young man with an old farmer. These two people are going to mix with each other during more than 20 years.
This old farmer has an obsession: transforming the dry region in which he lives, into a forest …
Besides the theme forest-deforestation, this tale speaks to us about “resiliency-building”, and the importance to have dreams and realise them.
