Animated interpretation of Oscar Wilde’s allegory about selfishness, sharing, and love. A beautiful garden is beset by perpetual winter after a greedy giant forbids children to play there. Then he is compelled to help a mysterious child who has entered the garden and spring comes. At his life’s end this child leads the giant to another garden.
