When Luca and Maxine explore the forest behind their house, it feels like stepping into a hidden world—one you can only glimpse when you look deeply into their eyes. They’ve built their own little kingdom here. The trees aren’t just plants reaching up to the sky; they become the walls for branch-made caves filled with feathers and stones. Luca and Maxine invite us into this world, sharing their rules, showing us how the moss breathes and how the trees hum. They open a window into their world, where play quickly becomes conflict, conflict becomes fighting, and fighting turns into moments of kindness.
