In the ashes of her burnt African village, Aya finds a unique way to grieve: planting a tree for every loved one lost. What begins as a personal ritual of remembrance soon draws the attention of her community and the world. As the dry season threatens her saplings, Aya must rally her neighbors to protect the living legacy of their ancestors, turning a landscape of despair into a thriving forest of hope.
