On the sunny island of Cyprus, a tall and lonely fig tree stands. Her fruit ripens, yet no one comes to share it. Years of fear and division have split the island in two, leaving her in the middle, alone. She remembers the conflict that tore her people apart, but she also remembers the warm days before, when laughter and friendship knew no boundaries. Yet, with changing seasons comes renewed hope, and the old tree dreams of a future where sharing summer's first figs might mend those broken bonds.
