Synopsis

A huge tree and an old house stand alone. The grandfather, head of the family, suffers from death blindness and his three new grandsons are awaiting to be given their names. But he dies before accomplishing that. In general, no one is called by their name in this film who intents on helping the heroes nameless except for the little girl with wild beauty: Fairouza. The grandsons grow up and start discovering the secrets of this world: first love, the defeat of the mighty ear, the amazement of discovering new worlds, the roughness... All the events look real in this film, and they are actual events indeed, but they belong more to fantasy than to reality.
