Greenfield stone has a warm heart
A HEART of stone, stoney-faced and "it's like getting blood out of a stone."
Japanese musical
FEELING restless at heart yet full of hope, a young woman who wants to get married comes to the forest where she often played during her childhood days. The forest used to be the kingdom of animals and still rings with the laughter and joy of children playing... Now it has become a vast ruin, dominated by dying trees - the result of urban development.
