Far ahead of our time, only the unicorn
and an old tree brave the elements of
the vast, dry desert. The tree can still
remember better times, when there
was water left. It encourages the unicorn
to follow hidden tracks and look
out for a better world. On its long and
challenging journey, the unicorn gets to
know a witty lizard, a shy gazelle, a joyful
lemur and a cautious lion. Are they
really the only animals who have survived
the ravages of modern society?
Finally, they find out that the humans
had damaged nature so badly as to create
a huge desert – but it is also the
humans who now are trying to find a
better, thoughtful way to deal with it.
