A little tree seedling is searching for an adventure. He crosses deep trenches and passes through fantastic worlds. His curiosity, agility and lightweight allow him to travel easily between worlds. He is mesmerized by all the bright colors and beauty around him, but if he stays too long in one spot his roots begin to grow and attach themselves to the ground. The older and bigger he gets, the harder it becomes to free himself from the ground. Four animation students attending the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, locked themselves in a room and worked continuously for three weeks.

Of course, the two responsible producers came by regularly to air out the room and bring Chupa Chups.
