The adaptation of a pioneering naturalist and humanist fable, a literary classic showing how humans can take action to save the living world.

Giono tells of his extraordinary encounter in 1913 with a solitary, laconic shepherd who tirelessly roamed the bare, arid hills of France’s Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region with a bag of acorns. Giono watches as, over the years, a miraculous forested Eden emerges: biodiversity returns, springs flow, and deserted villages come back to life! Lebonvallet and Casanave make this story their own, drawing obvious parallels with our time, and transpose it to a visual medium with generosity and inspiration.
