Like every week-end, Cathy, a six year’s old little girl, must go with her parents to the country side. She has no enthusiasms because she feels like she doesn’t exist in her parents eyes. The week-end would be as boring as usual if Cathy hadn’t received some ‘magic seeds’ from a daily worker at the farm. The week-end ends, but curious and excited, the little girl decides to stay at the country side to watch the ‘magic’ seeds grow, rather than to return home. Left alone, Cathy realizes that her parents are worried and looking for her. Scared to be severely punished, she runs away in the woods and gets lost…
Comme chaque week-end, Cathy, une petite fille de six ans, doit accompagner ses parents à la campagne. Elle est sans enthousiasme car elle a le sentiment de ne pas exister dans le regard de son père et de sa mère. Le week-end serait aussi morne que d’habitude si, à la ferme, Cathy n’avait pas reçu des graines “magiques“ des mains d’un vieux travailleur journalier. Curieuse et excitée, elle décide de ne pas repartir lorsque la fin du week-end arrive pour pouvoir observer les germes qui commencent à pointer. Restée seule, Cathy se rend compte que ses parents la cherchent et sont inquiets. Elle a peur d’être sévèrement punie pour cette grosse bêtise et elle s’enfuit dans la forêt jusqu’à se perdre…
