Synopsis
After a severe fire and a hurried restoration, the Sanctuary of the Old Well finally reopens its doors.
Home to the well whose water has long been linked to a series of superstitions about “starting anew,” the natural park’s reopening draws all kinds of anthropomorphic animals who wish to turn their lives around... or simply take a pleasant stroll through nature, far from their daily worries.
The grand opening unexpectedly reunites three teenagers who, despite once being quite close, lost touch after finishing compulsory secondary school. As they get to know each other better and reflect on where their lives are headed, they'll collaborate to reach the Old Well and make a wish.
