Granny Smith

Description

Granny Smith looks after her husband, her children and the trees that grow in her orchard. The original Granny Smith was in fact more famous in her lifetime for being the local midwife than she was for her now internationally acclaimed green apples, hence her name. Her husband was ill, and she had to take the fruit from the orchard to the market by herself. When one tree doesn't look like the others, she still helps it to grow big and strong, to find out what it will be. Could it be the perfect tree, or will all her hard work be for nothing? With patience and resilience, from little things, big things grow, including love. In the end, this is also a love story between her and her husband.
