In the secluded forest of the Tall Willow, Cécil, a solitary and somewhat grumpy skeleton, enjoys his predictable life in a charming little house, far from any visitors. His days are filled with meticulous routines, like polishing his things, stretching and cooking his infamous milk soup every Friday.
However, his structured existence is unexpectedly disrupted when Alice, a small bird, arrives, eager to share stories with him, challenging Cécil’s preferences for solitude
and routine. In this enchanting narrative, Cécil’s life is transformed by Alice, a storytelling bird, igniting a friendship that awakens his heart.
Rich in symbolism, this tale highlights the magic of books, stories, and imagination,
while exploring friendship, sharing, self-discovery, and the art of letting go. It’s a celebration of the transformative power of connections and the discovery of light in unexpected places, reminding us of the strength found in vulnerability and the adventure of opening oneself to the unknown.
