Weeds
Back to listSynopsis
Far, far away, there are endless fields overgrown with weeds. Amidst these fields, there is a hidden garden full of beautiful cultivated flowers. One day a mighty storm will come. The wind picks up the seeds of the weeds and carries them towards the garden. The gardener rips out an unknown intruder: however, the thistle weed starts growing all over the garden and the gardener is losing patience. In a frenzy, she not only cuts down all the weeds around her, but also all her flowers.
