A poetic and immersive tale of childhood, nature, and wonder—where every moment is a discovery!

It’s late summer, Alf goes to meet his friend Orel in the forest. Orel is not a child like him, but a spirit of nature who takes him on a tour of the seasons, their rhythms, their colors, and many other wonders. Alf discovers a thousand sensations, surrounds himself with plants and a multitude of animals, slips on ice and plunges into rivers. An album that tastes like childhood, friendship, nature and humanity.
