In a small town frozen in time, a group of friends gathers around an ancient willow that stands as the heart of their community. This tree, laden with stories and secrets, becomes the refuge of a young dreamer named Samuel, who longs to escape the monotony of his daily life. Each afternoon, beneath its gentle branches, Samuel shares his hopes and desires with his best friend, Clara, a talented painter who is also searching for her place in the world.
One day, a mysterious outsider arrives in the town, bringing with her an air of intrigue and change. Her presence awakens hidden feelings in Samuel, who finds himself caught between his loyal friendship with Clara and his growing fascination for the stranger. As the life of the town begins to transform under the influence of the outsider, Samuel faces a difficult choice: to turn the page and dive into the unknown or cling to the safety of his roots.
The relationship between Samuel and Clara is put to the test, and the willow becomes a symbol of their decisions and the inevitable loss of innocence. With a vibrant backdrop of emotions and the power of friendship, this poetic portrayal of youth explores the dilemma of choosing between duty and desire, as time continues its relentless course and the seasons change, marking the end of an era.
