While wandering through a field of tree stumps that was once a healthy forest, a boy wonders how to make the world better. He gathers the remaining leaves and twigs to make a small leaf man. Soon the boy thinks of other things he can create, and with the help of the leaf man, he dreams, invents, and plants the seeds of a new beginning. The folklore of the "Green Man" inspires this lyrical story of renewal and optimism for the future.
