Listen, listen to the great, hair-like pines whispering the legend of the Scarlet Girl...
In Japan, on Mount Takara, there stretches a forest whose rhythm of life is shaken: iron machines carelessly dig into the earth. Soon, silence reigns throughout the wounded forest. At the foot of a sick maple tree, young Akio discovers a girl burning with fever. Having brought her home, he cares for her... But then, he understands: He must also save the maple, which is a part of her!
