Features: A five-year-old girl loses her parents and must move to the Swiss Alps to live with her grandfather. The hard life shapes her and teaches her the meaning of love. She loves the plants and trees there and cherishes the simple people who live in this area. However, fate forces her to leave her loved ones and live with strangers. There are no sunsets to say goodnight, no green pines to whisper secrets to her. She endures loneliness and longing but never gives up hope and love. Her wish is finally fulfilled, and she brings joy and happiness to others.
