Two tree-keepers receive a tiny seed and must plant, nurture and tend it as it grows. Their devotion is full of childlike stubbornness, and a playful rivalry quickly develops between them, spreading from everyday chores into the raising of the tree.
The piece asks who is really looking after whom, and suggests that care for one another and for nature is the richest nourishment of all. Performed by Andy Manley and Claus Mandøe, it runs for 40 minutes without an interval.
