ı grew

After a lonely day, a quiet boy wanders into a forgotten forest and discovers a fragile sapling — small and overlooked, just like him. Day after day, he returns, sharing drawings, stories, and silence. The tree listens. And slowly, it grows.

As seasons change, the sapling becomes a towering sanctuary — until one day, it begins to fade. In its place, a new sprout appears, whispering hope.

“I Grew ” is a poetic short anime film about silent bonds, quiet healing, and the roots we leave behind in each other.

This film was created using artificial intelligence tools to explore new ways of visual storytelling.
