A little girl wakes up one morning after an ice storm.
The branch of her favorite tree is broken.
This branch was her castle, her base of spies, her ship. She won't let anyone go with HER branch.
Then her neighbour, an elderly man, helps her give a second life to what seems to be just a simple branch in the eyes of others.
A story of mutual aid, intergenerational complicity, creativity.
