A young boy wanders into a flower-filled meadow, enchanted by its beauty. Chasing a shimmering butterfly, he unknowingly tramples the entire field. Inspired by Anton Hansen Tammsaare’s 1915 tale, this poetic Estonian puppet and object theater piece, set to Ardo Ran Varres’ original music, gently reminds young children of nature’s fragility and the need to protect it.
