Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A tree, a heart, and Herbert who is still thinking of 1961. On those hot summer days, 17-year-old Herbert was madly in love with Regina. He kissed her under this tree and carved a heart into it. A day later, she left him. After 55 years, Herbert wants to know why she did that. He invites her to his garden under false pretenses.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
