Summer

  • On a hot summer day, a group of animals wanted to find somewhere cool and shady in the desert desperately. Once they had spotted a tree, they competed fiercely in order to stand under the shadow of it. As they were fighting for the shadow, a father and his son crossing the dessert caught their attention: the father kept his son under his shadow in order to make his son staying cool. How will this scene affect the animals?
