Synopsis:
The setting is a leafy glade in late summer. A woman enters and in a place obviously familiar
to her, reflects on her happy memories of times past. Groups of young people appear and portray I her nostalgic
thoughts in dance. The light of day darkens, the leaves are fading and the woman departs with her memories reborn.
