The year the leaves did not fall

"Fairy tales have the wonder of timelessness. They last for millennia. They are freedom. They are timeless, like the myths that still speak to us today." Paola Mastrocola This is a story of wind, leaves and squirrels. It is a story of timidity and courage, of rebellion and wisdom. About a strange autumn when the leaves refuse to fall and everyone wonders why. Especially the children, who can watch, and a restless squirrel who needs to know. And it is above all a double love story: for one love that would never want to end, there is another that would like to begin but dare not. As everyone--human and animal--tries to cope with new life in the Land Where No Leaves Fall, the chipmunk ventures into an investigation that will end up raising important questions about happiness and the laws of nature. Around these questions blows the wind, which knows everyone's stories, and it is the wind, in this tale as light as air, that crosses fates, changes spirits and decides fates. Read the press review
