A severe earthquake shattered the modest living in this small village in the middle of Taiwan. In order to rebuild their ruined elementary school and transform it into an ecological forest school to fit the natural environment, villagers of Neihu, the small, undeveloped village, stand up to fight their war with the great and advanced National Taiwan University. Being the number one university of Taiwan, NTU possess tremendous resources and authority, tangible and intangible. The famous Sitou Recreational Area is practically under the reign of NTU. Concern for forest conservation and geological safety keeps NTU from offering the land to Neihu Elementary School, especially when the land Neihu Elementary School asks to go inside the NTU Experimental Forest. Problems between the small and the big are revealed. When authority is challenged, when professional knowledge confronts people's lives, how can the equilibrium be reached? Can the dream of a school in a forest be realized? An enchanting story unfolds, and the dream of the forest is on its way to be completed. Close
