A young boy and his family escape from the Jewish ghetto in Lithuania and arrive in barren Israel. One night the boy dreams that the land is covered with trees, not desert, and the next day he sets out to reforest the hills, one seedling at a time. The dancing lines and brilliant colors of the impressionistic art portray a vibrant and hopeful world.
