A child tries to protect the neighborhood's lonely willow tree with his own intervention, but nature does not accept unnecessary human interference.
 

Synopsis

Murad, a 5-year-old living in an old Baku neighborhood, mistakenly believes that the tree called the “Weeping Willow” is actually crying. With pure compassion born of this misunderstanding, Murad tries to “make” the tree happy: he draws a smiling face on its trunk, decorates its branches, and protects it from the rain by putting an umbrella on top. However, these small interventions over time disrupt the natural rhythm of the tree. Its leaves turn yellow, its branches dry, and life begins to fade. A sharp contrast arises between the artificial smile that Murad draws and the tree that is about to wither. The willow that Murad wants to protect cannot breathe precisely because of his intervention. Until nature itself intervenes and restores the balance. A strong wind blows the umbrella away, and the rain touches the trunk again. Murad himself gets wet in the rain and accepts nature’s own flow, its own rhythm. In the end, the willow tree, whose smiling face has been erased, begins to breathe again only through the power of nature.
