Trees Are Memories

This follows a childhood memory of 'Lyra Crayford'. We watch sympathetically as her mother habitually favours her younger sister, and as Lyra tries to comprehend why her mother does this we see through her eyes, and her diary entry how the world is viewed to a small 9 year old child. Her sister, jealously, steals Lyra's precious ribbon, but as the film un-roles we see it is too late for her to say sorry because, as we see from the older Lyra's story, she suffers a lung disease and passes away quite suddenly. Her letter reveals everything and in an emotional ending Lyra gets her ribbon back, and finds in it something to remember her sister by.
