A lonely lumberjack tries to cut down an old tree in the forest. He hits it for the first time using his axe. He doesn’t carry on because the tree resembles a living creature. The seasons pass. A natural disaster strikes, people and animals die because of that. The crown of the old tree becomes a shelter for a woman.
