A shy and lonely creature is too scared to leave the old circus cage it once was trapped in until it finds a little seedling to care for. In order to keep the little plant alive with soil, water and sunlight, the creature has to confront its fear of the world step by step. Both the tree and the creature's courage grow until there is no more room in the cage. A stop-motion animated short film about personal growth and the process of overcoming fear.
