The Man Who Planted Trees tells the story of a solitary shepherd who patiently plants and nurtured a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid surroundings into a thriving oasis. Undeterred by two World Wards, and without any thought of personal reward, the shepherd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with the greatest care. As if by magic, a barren landscape grows green again. (official distributor synopsis)
