Under the Greenwood Tree

Under the thick green canopy of an old tree lives a cozy world of a small village, where everything breathes peace: in the mornings, the scent of warm bread wafts through the air, in the evenings, the songs of the choristers are heard, and the residents cherish their ancient traditions.
But together with the young teacher Fancy Day, change comes to Mellstock – quiet, barely noticeable, like a fresh breeze. In the heart of Dick Dewy a timid feeling is born, and the village gradually fills with a tension of expectation: hopes collide with ambitions, while bright infatuation intertwines with jealousy and secret dreams.
