Beschreibung

A huge Tree stands in a Meadow, in a gigantic Field. The Tree is the centre of life for all the animals who live in and around it. Every season they hope for a good Harvest. After a period of bad weather, the Harvests produce less and less food and the animals in the Meadow and the Tree find themselves in a race against time and hunger to find a solution. Along the way they learn about survival, working together, what it takes to get what they need, and how far some will go to defend their way of life.
