SYNOPSIS
Alma managed to grow a plant in the desert but, in doing so, she disobeyed the will of the terrible King Duwo who forced the inhabitants of the Kingdom to destroy the trees to build a giant nest (a symbol of his power). Alma is discovered and imprisoned by the royal guards, unscrupulous crows. The tears shed by Alma and her prayers awaken the spirit of Baba, an old storyteller who is the victim of a spell that can only be released by the call of a “pure heart”.
Baba’s song breaks the chains of the prison and shows Alma the way to free the Kingdom. And where there was a desert today stands an immense forest.
