Using a poetic style in combination with a explosion of colour, this apparently simple story about birds and trees tells us about an apple tree confronted with other apple trees’ selfishness, and about its hospitality and tolerance to those “different, annoying being” –birds- , which disturb, dirty or bother the other trees …
A beautiful idea in favour of tolerance and coexistence.
