Als der Wald erwachte

A fairy tale about friendship, loss, and connection. Spring is coming. The plants are blooming, and the forest comes to life.

One day, in a moment of inattention, the spinach woman is discovered by a little boy. He puts her in his jacket pocket and takes her home. The animals and plants can breathe easy again. But the old oak tree tells why the spinach woman hates the awakened life so much: she lost a good friend a long time ago. This loss has created an eternal winter in her heart. Soon, the forest inhabitants realize that something is missing. Doesn’t the spinach woman ultimately belong to them after all?
