How are you doing
back there, Violet?
Are you comfortable?
(wind gushing)
Is there anything... you need,
when we get back?
I don't know if you're...
hungry or anything?
(wind gushing)
It'll be nice to see Noah
and Lily again, won't it?
I mean, they're looking forward
to having you come
and live with us.
Lily, especially.
(chuckles)
(pensive music)
Well, it won't be long now.
Be home soon.

Hi, honey.
Hey. (door closes)
(mellow music) (birds chirping)
(scraping)
(mellow music)
(birds chirping)
How's everything?
Yeah. Good.
Not as good as it could be,
given the circumstances.
(Door clicks)
(mellow music) (birds chirping)
(pebbles crumbling)
(Door closes)
(footsteps)
(mellow music)
Kids are inside
waiting to say hello.
(mellow music)
Do you want to?
(soft music)
(leaves rustling)
(soft music)
(pebbles crumbling)
(soft music)
Hey, Violet. (breathes)
How you doing?
I'm sorry I couldn't come with
Auntie Anika to pick you up.
It would have meant bringing
Noah and Lily in the car.
I think that'd be a
bit busy, wouldn't it?
Anyway, did you pack
all your things?
They're in the back of the car?
(soft music) (birds chirping)
What's in this one then?
(soft music) (birds chirping)
Okay.
You take that one.
Auntie Anika's going to
show you around the house.
I know you haven't been
to our house before.
(mellow music continues)
We used to come and visit
you in the city, didn't we?
(mellow music)
Anyway...
I'm glad you're here now.
(tapping)
(footsteps approaching)
Hey, look who's here!
(chuckles)
Cousin Violet, you're here!
(background noise)
(silence)
Hello.
(silence)
I'm really sorry what
happened to Auntie Laura
and Uncle Ben,
the accident.
(silence)
Yeah, we're sorry it happened.
We'll miss them.
(silence)
We most definitely will.
(silence)
But, we're very happy
to have Violet come and
live with us, aren't we?
Yes.
I guess.
(silence)
And, we're going to
make her feel welcome,
aren't we?
- Yeah.
- She's part of the family.
Yes.
(silence)
Hey Lily, why don't you
show Violet your bedroom?
I hope you don't mind, Violet,
but you're going to
be sharing with Lily.
Come on, let's go.
(footsteps)
Do you like bunnies?
(thuds)
(footsteps)
(sighs)
I missed you, darling.
Mmm.
- Come on, let's go find Dad.
- Okay.
I think he needs some help.
(footsteps) (door opens)
(footsteps)
This is my room.
Well, it was my room.
Now it's our room.
I told Mummy that I
wouldn't mind sharing.
(silence)
I can give you a
bunny if you want.
(silence)
Do you like bunnies?
(footsteps)
(thuds)
This is your bed.
(bird chirping)
Daddy said if you
don't have many toys,
we can go to the shop.
Did you bring any
teddies to decorate?
(silence)
Why aren't you speaking?
(silence)
It's okay.
If you don't speak,
we can play a game.
I'll go get some colouring pens.
(silence)
(thuds)
(thump)
How was the drive?
Yeah. Well, it was
long, but yeah, okay.
(chuckles)
(click)
(long sigh)
(minimal bird chirping)
Hey.
How are you holding up?
I'm okay.
It's just hard, you know...
seeing Violet this way.
(birds chirping)
Yeah, Violet isn't talking.
Like, she didn't say
anything on the journey here.
Not when we were parking the car
or driving over here,
and she didn't say anything
to Noah and Lily
just now either.
I don't think
she said anything
since the accident happened.
It was the same at the funeral.
She didn't say a word.
(melancholic music)
Could be and the shock...
(sighs)
Sadness... (sighs)
(melancholic music)
But either way, we'll...
we'll do what we can for her,
and hopefully in time,
she'll come out of her shell
and she'll start talking again.
(birds chirping)
This all feels like a dream.
(birds chirping in distance)
Do you remember last Christmas,
when we went to see
them in the city?
Mm.
Yeah.
That was a great trip.
(minimal bird chirping)
And now it's...
Look, it's...
It's going to take time...
for everyone to heal,
okay, including you.
Good days and bad days.
Yeah.
Thank you, by the way.
For what?
For going to pick up Violet.
For moving the rest of the
stuff out of the house.
I really couldn't face it.
Not without Laura and Ben there.
No, it's okay.
(sighs)
I understand, and you
don't need to thank me.
Besides, someone had to look
after those two rascals.
True.
Speaking of rascals,
where's Lily gone to?
Oh, I told her to
show Violet the bedroom.
I thought we should just
leave them to it, you know,
so they can get to
know each other, and...
Oh, nice.
(thud)
Do you want a tea?
Oh, absolutely. I'm parched.
(sighs)
(spoon clinks)
(melancholic music)
(tapping)
(tapping)
(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
(knocking)
(melancholic music)
Hi, Violet.
(melancholic music continues)
(sighs)
Wow.
Love what you've
done to the place.
(melancholic music)
If Lily's things start
to creep onto your side,
you just tell her, okay?
Because she's not
used to sharing.
(silence)
Or, you know, you could...
you know, move them
yourself as well, of course.
That's...
That's fine.
If you're not talking.
(silence)
We are going to have dinner...
in about half an hour.
If there's anything
you'd like to eat?
(silence)
We usually have
dinner downstairs together at the table.
If you'd like to join us.
(silence)
Okay.
Well, have a think.
It's up to you.
I'll just set you a place
at the table in case, okay?
(melancholic music continues)
(thud)
(somber music)
(cutlery clinks)
(cutlery clinks)
(clutters)
(sighs) (footsteps)
Anika, dinner's ready.
Coming!
(thuds)
(sighs)
Oh wow!
This looks lovely, Peter.
(chuckles)
Only the best for my best.
(kiss)
Eww, stop being gross.
What?
You mean like this?
(kissing and chuckling)
(laughing)
(wretching) (laughing)
Shush, you.
(giggling)
There you are.
(background noise)
Oh.
No, Violet then?
No. (sighs)
I told her she could
come and join us
if she wanted to, but...
her decision.
How come Violet doesn't
have to eat at the table?
Yeah, why do we
and she doesn't?
Well, it's Violet's
first night with us and,
she's in a new house,
in a new room.
Must be quite scary;
don't you think?
I would be scared
without my bunnies!
Exactly!
That's how Violet
feels right now.
So if she wants to
stay somewhere safe,
like her new room,
then we respect that.
I guess...
Will Violet come to
dinner with us tomorrow,
or the next day?
I think she'll have
dinner with us eventually.
We're not going to
force her, are we?
No
No
Good.
Right!
Bon appetit, everyone!
Here we are!
(grunts)
(utensils clanking)
Here you are!
(plates clattering)
Thank you.
(plates clanking)
Thank you.
This is yummy, Daddy.
Yeah. (laughs)
Glad you like it.

(door opens) (whimsical music)
We're going to be late.
We're going to be late!
We're going to be late!
Not again!
I know, we forgot
to put the alarm.
Come on!
Noah, are you dressed yet?
I can't live with
these conditions.
(whimsical music continues)
(soft horn music)
Oh Lily, you can't wear that.
(whimsical notes)
But it's my fashion!
You have to wear your
school unform to school.
Ugh!
(drawers opening)
That's so boring.
My teacher will love it more!
School uniform only to school.
Come on! Let's get
you dressed properly.
Come on!
(classic whimsical music)
(shuffling)
(classic whimsical music)
(classic whimsical music)
Oh, good!
You're both ready!
Okay, Lily, Noah...
Come on, come on, come on.
Wait, wait, wait.
Noah's got PE today.
Here, Noah, turn around.
Look at the shoe.
Noah...
Noah's shoes...
Okay.
Any sign of Violet?
She's still in bed.
Okay! Jackets on.
Outside.
Don't want to be late!
(whimsical music)
(thump)
Bye, darling. (smooch)
Bye.
(door shuts)
(sighs)
(claps)
Oh, boy!
(whimsical music)
(prattling of footsteps)

Okay.
(breathes deeply)

How's everyone?
(melancholic music)
(clinks)
(melancholic music)

(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
Great. So if you
have any questions,
just drop me a message.
Thanks for today.
All right, see you later on.
Thanks, Claire!
Good to meet you.
Bye.
(melancholic music)
(sighs)
(melancholic music)
Violet.
I was just, uh...
Nevermind.
Would you like some breakfast?
(tinkering)
(clinking)
Is there anything else
I can get you, Violet?
(silence)
Would you like
anything else to eat?
(silence)
Good.
Well, uh...
(silence)
I better get back to work.
If you need me, just
come to the office. Okay?
(silence)
Feel free to watch the telly...
play games in your room or...
Oh, we've got a big garden,
so if you want to go
outside and explore...
go for it.
(silence)
Okay. Mm...
What else?
Oh, snacks!
If you get hungry,
there's some, uh,
snacks in the drawer.
Okay?
Good.
Well, I've got a meeting
about to start so,
I'll see you later.

Oh! Hi, Violet!
You have been for a walk?
I know you just back
but have you seen...
Violet?
(wind gushing)
Where'd you get to, I've been
looking everywhere for you?
Oh, I think she
went for a walk.
A walk?
(laughs)
I guess I did say.
All right, good. Okay.
Who's hungry?
- Me.
- Me.
Okay. I'll make
us a snack, shall I?
No, Peter not before dinner.
Ah, come on!
I want to change jeans.

Oh. Hello, Violet.
Did you sleep well?
(rustling)
Is it time to go, Mommy?
(sighs) Yes, darling.
Shall we go down and
get some breakfast?
Give Violet some privacy, hey?
Come.
(rustling)
(minimal birds chirping)
Okay. Bye, darling...
Bye. Have a good day.
Mm.
Oh, um, Violet
hasn't eaten yet.
- She's in her room.
- Alright.
So...
Bye, love you.
Love you too.
(wind gushing)
(birds chirping)
(crockery clinking)
(clattering)
(wood creaking)
I know you're
having a lazy morning,
but I thought you might
want something to eat.
Don't tell the others though.
They're not usually
allowed breakfast in bed.
I think we can make an
exception this time, can't we?
(background noise)
I know these first few days
are going to be hard for you...
(melancholic music)
But I want you to know you
can talk to us about anything.
You're safe here.
(melancholic music)
It is hard, isn't it?
When you lose people
that you love.
(melancholic music)
Your mum and dad
were very special.
(melancholic music)
I miss them a lot.
(melancholic music)
Especially your mum.
She was my favorite sister.
Fine.
She was my only sister,
but it still counts, right?
(melancholic music)
I know there's a lot
you're going to be missing at the moment.
Not just them, but
your old house,
your old school...
(melancholic music continues)
So we just take each
day as it comes.
Don't we?
(melancholic music continues)
If there's anything
that you need,
you just let me or Anika know.
(melancholic music)
Good.
Well, I've got to get
back to work now so, uh,
the house is yours again.
Though, I was very
worried yesterday
when I couldn't find you, okay?
So there's a big white board
beside the fridge today.
If you go outside,
can you write on it, please?
Yeah?
Just so I know you've gone.
Thank you.
Right.
Got to run, got a meeting so,
I'll see you a bit later, yeah?
Okay.

Mmm.
(chuckles)
It's your favorite,
isn't it done well?
This will be...
Oh.
Hey, Violet.
Are you joining us?
Okay, yeah.
Do you wanna sit there?
(chuckles)
So, how's
everybody's day today?
- Good.
- Good?
What did we do in school?
Is there anything?
Um... We got some new fish.
New fish?
Yeah, for the class.
We have to look after them.
Today, I did some drawing
and painting all day long.
It was the best day ever!
Double art!
What a great day!
(chuckles)
What about you, Violet?
I saw you left a
note in the board.
Where did you explore today?
(silence)
Oh, you went outside again.
Make sure you wear your coat
if you're playing in the garden
because it is
getting a bit chilly.
You know, tonight
I was thinking
- we could do a big fire..
- Yeah!
Yeah?
Oh, can I help with the fire?
(chuckles)
How do you feel if we do it?
Mm.
Hmm-mm.
Right again.
(chuckles)
Mm.
More than Mommy.
Mm. (chuckle)
(clanking)
Good. Now, watch out.
(clicking sound)
(fire softly roaring)
(popping)
Woah!
(fire softly roaring)
Cool, isn't it?
(fire softly roaring)
Heh.
Wish I've hot chocolates.
Hot chocolate?
What made you think of that?
The fire.
Let's use for the
students quote...
Light a fire, and you
drink your chocolate
with marsh mellows in.
Oh, a hot chocolate's
got marsh mellow.
Isn't now, is it?
Duh!
You can't have it
without marsh mellows.
That would just be
weird, right, Violet?
(fire softly roaring)
Well, I can't argue with that.
(fire softly roaring)
(thud) (wood squeak)
Better make one for
your mom and sister too.
Bath time's finishing soon.
(fire softly roaring)
(rattling)
(fire softly roaring)
(fire softly roaring)
What are you drawing?
(fire softly roaring)
Did you hear me?
I said what are you drawing?
(sighs)
(huffs)
You don't know or you
don't wanna tell me?
(fire softly roaring)
Fine, whatever.
(fire softly roaring)
Dad, can I help with
the marsh mellows in?
(melancholic music)
(fire crackling)
(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
Weee...
(giggles)
You found my color pens,
what are you drawing?
I... think it's a horse...
That's a unicorn!
Oh, yeah.
I think your right, Lily.
It's a unicorn.
It's very good, Violet.
I want to draw a unicorn!
(laugh)
Well, I'm sure Violet
wouldn't mind if you joined her.
(soft music)
Say, "Thank you."
- Thank you.
- Good.
(chuckle)
What have you got there?
Hot chocolate.
I did the marshmellows myself.
He certainly did.
All seven of them.
I told you I'd eat them all.
Here you go, girls.
And spoons to scoop.
Uh...
Where's mine?
They're in the kitchen.
Special adult hot chocolate
with the
extra ingredient we both like.
Mm.
I want extra ingredients.
Not until your older.
Is it orange juice?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
(giggles)
(slurps)
I'll come with you.
(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
(knocking on the door)
Morning, you two!
Is it time to get up now?
Yes, love.
Time to get you ready for
another day of school.
I want Violet to
help me get ready.
(playful music)
You want Violet to help you?
Yes! Go make us breakfast.
Oh.
Yes, your majesty.
I will prepare the royal feast.
(giggles)
Is that okay with you, Violet?
Yay! Violet, I
wanted to wear this!
(playful music continues)
School uniform only, Lily!
I'm not doing this
every morning.
Come on.
Oh. Fine...
(playful music continues)
(playful music continues)
(clanking)
Here you are.
(thuds)
Oh, you made it. Great.
(chuckles)
Let's get you up.
Okay.
Are you coming to
school today, Violet?
I think it's a
bit soon for that.
But it's nice to see Violet
for breakfast this
morning, isn't?
Right!
Hurry up, you two!
You need to leave soon.
Hi, Violet!
Coffee?
No, thank you.
We better need to leave soon.
Come on. Hey!
Come on. Eat up, eat up.
(clinking)
(clinking)
I wasn't expecting to see
Violet up for breakfast.
Neither was I.
(sighs)
Still it's progress, isn't it?
Yeah.
I hope it lasts.
She did much better today.
Mm.
Oh, it's time.
Oh, kids! (claps)
Come on, come on, come on.

It's Saturday, silly.
There's no school on Saturday.
That means I'll be able
to play with you all day.
(playful music)
Let's go wake
Mommy and Daddy up.
Daddy usually snores...
(playful music continues)
- Mm.
- Oh.
I could take them
this afternoon maybe.
What do you think?
Mm, coming now.
Morning, girls.
We weren't expecting
you to be up so early.
Oh. (grunts)
Ah.
(chuckle)
We tried to wake you up.
(chuckles)
Violet forgot we didn't forgot
have school on Saturday.
(laughter and chuckle)
It's easy to loose track
of the days when you're home.
I do it too sometimes.
(chuckles)
So does anyone
want some breakfast?
Mmm.
- Yes.
- Mm.
Morning.
I had funny dreams last night.
Bad ones?
No, just weird.
What about?
What's for breakfast?
Cereal.
Can we have pancakes instead?
Yeah, pancakes.
Uh...
Let's do pancakes tomorrow.
Fine.
(chuckle)
Can I have some toast then?
(silence)
(chuckles)
(bird chirping)
(bird tweets)
(silence)
What are you staring at?
Do you wanna go and
play in Wendy house?
I'll come with you.
Do you wanna watch anything?
We'll show you a show.
Movie?
What music do you like?
Stop it, Noah!
What? I'm just interested.
She's not gonna
tell you so stop it.
Why not? It's not a big deal.
She should be able to tell us.
(footsteps)
(thud) (thumping)
Hey!
Hello, you two!
(giggle)
I was about to come
and find you actually.
We're gonna make brownies.
Who wants to help?
Me, me!
Yeah. Okay.
(laugh)
Let's get you up.
Ready?
Woah!
Okay!
How about you, Violet?
Would you like to help?
All right. Maybe next time.
Let's get you an apron.
(grunts)
Peter, where did
even put that wisk?
I'm not sure.
All right, here we go.
Okay. Good.
Right. Just scrape
all those edges down.
There we are.
If I turn it, and you scrape...
Perfect!
Let's give it a big mix.
- It's smooth.
- Very smooth.
- It is smooth.
You did very well
with the mixing.
All right. I can use a bit
more though, Lily, so...
let's give it a big stir.
Are you ready?
There we go.
Yes, that's it.
(playful music)
Perfect!
Mmm.- The more we stir,
the more we'll get.
Exactly. How many do you
think we can get from this?
Mm?
Probably like...
the biggest number in the world.
The biggest
number in the world?
- No.
- Scrape, scrape.
- Scrape.
- There we go.
You can give it a mix again.
- Mix.
- That's it.
If your arms get
tired, switch hands or
you use both.
Mm. Look at that.
Wow!
Scrape that with the...
Woah!
Okay, that is probably wrong.
Oh. Perfect!
It's perfect.
Okay. You can give
it a mix again.
That's it. Try your best.
Scrape it down.
What we'll do is
right at the end.
The more we get on the
edges and scrape it down,
the more we will get.

(whimsical music)
(birds chirping)
(playful music) (birds chirping)
A unicorn!
A real-life unicorn!
You're friends with a unicorn!
Yay!
Sssh!
How long have you
been coming here?
How long have you known?
Sssh.
(whispers) Is that a real-life unicorn?
Sssh.
And you are friends with
the unicorn, aren't you?
Is this what you've
been doing all week,
coming out here?
(music continues)
(birds chirping)
(bird hooting)
(playful, whimsical music
continues)
(birds chirping and hooting)
(whispers) This is amazing.
(a far howling)
(zipping)
(rustling)
(mellow music)
(mellow music)
It's time to go already?
(mellow music)
(mellow music)
This was the best day ever.
I saw you fast-
I saw you going out the window
and then I asked Daddy
if I could come...
outside with you...
And then I'd lost you for a bit.
And then I found that
you had a real-life unicorn...
I can't wait to tell
Mommy and Daddy.
Shhh.
Why, I can't tell
Mommy and Daddy?
But why?
(melancholic music)
It's a secret?
Then it's a secret.
Can we come back tomorrow?
(birds chirping)
(soft music continues)
Hey, everybody looks like...
(inaudible)
(laughter)
I'm so mean. (sniffs)
I had to let you look...
(laughter)
I thought we were talking
about the little one.
How dare you.
(laughter)
(melancholic music continues)
Um., what are two
whispering about?
Nothing. We're
just planning today.
Mm, what you
have planned then?
A picnic in the forest.
It's a good idea.
Family picnic in the forest.
No, just for us.
What about me?
I like picnics.
It's not a boys thing.
It's not a family thing.
It's a girls thing.
For me and Violet.
It was our idea.
(playful music)
Don't worry, Noah.
We'll find something
better to do.
Let the girls have
their space for the day.
So do you need help
preparing this picnic?
Or you're gonna do
that yourself as well?
We need help, please.
You two sure you're going
to be okay on your own?
Yeah.
(playful music continues)
Well, Violet.
You're in charge so
look after Lily, please.
And if it... rains or if
you get too cold outside,
you just make sure you
come straight home. Okay?
Yes, Mommy.
Have fun!
(playful music continues)
Looks like they're
having a nice time.
Yeah.
I wish they would let
Noah join in though.
I really feel for him.
It'll happen.
Give it time.
Noah and Violet
are closer in age,
so I imagine it's
taking them longer
to figure each other out.
Yeah, you're right.
Mom, Dad.
In here, Noah.
I'm going to
play in the garden.
Okay, I'll come with you.
We'll have a kick about.
No, that's okay.
Oh, okay.
Have fun!
(running steps)
He got over that quickly.
See? Told you.
Go ahead, pass me
that dish, will you?
(playful, mystical music)
(rustling)
(mystical music)
(mystical music)
Oh, no, where is it?
Where is he gone, Violet?
What if it's hurt?
We can't have a picnic now,
we need to go and
find the unicorn.
(melancholic music continues)
(birds chirping)
(zips)
How can you be so calm
when the unicorn's gone?
I've really wanted
to see it again.
The unicorn!
Ugh! Spider webs.
Noah, what are you doing here?
It's not fair.
Why do you get to have
a picnic without me?
I should be able to come
to the forest as well.
It doesn't belong to you.
You followed us, didn't you?
So what if I did?
Why are you talking
about unicorns?
None of your beeswax.
You know, they
don't exist, right?
Yeah, they do.
You take that back!
No, they don't!
They're just a story told
to little babies like you.
I'm not a baby!
How about you just go away?
I don't have to
if I don't want to.
(music chiming)
The unicorn, it's here!
(clip clops)
(music continues)
Told you...
That... is impossible!
It's right here, Noah!
Use your eyes.
How can it be real?
Magic!
I did not know that, did I?
You still mean that you didn't
let me come to your picnic?
We weren't trying to be mean.
It's just that, we
can't tell anyone.
Not even Mommy and Daddy.
I can keep a secret.
Are you sure?
Yes.
So, can I stay and
have a picnic with you?
(birds chirping)
Yes, if you're
going to be nice.
(soft music)
(soft music)
(playful music)
(playful music)
(playful music)
(mystical music)
(mystical music)
(playful music)
(playful music)
It's time to go now.
Oh.
Not again.
Mom and Dad will be wondering
where we've got to otherwise.
Let me say goodbye first.
(birds chirping)
(zipping)
(birds chirping)
I wasn't trying to
be mean yesterday.
Annoying.
When I asked you
those questions,
I was just trying to understand.
I think I get it now.
I'm sorry about Auntie
Laura and Uncle Ben.
I really am.
But you can be part
of our family now.
If you want.
My mom and dad can
look after you.
I know it's not the same but,
at least it's something.
And if you decide you want
to come to school soon,
I can introduce
you to my teacher.
I think we'll be
in the same class.
(rustling)
(birds chirping)
(mellow music)
(birds chirping)
(mellow music)
Goodbye.
See you soon, I hope.
(mellow music)
(power saw roaring from a far)
(power saw roaring from a far)
What's that noise?
(power saw roaring from a far)
What are they doing, Violet?
(gloomy music)
It looks like they're
cutting down the trees
in the forest.
They can't do that!
The unicorn's in there.
Where are you going?
(gloomy, ominous music)
Wait for me, Violet!
Wait! Wait!
(gloomy, ominous music
continues)
Mommy, Daddy, it's
Violet has gone outside!
What?
Lily?
(engine roaring)
(whirring)
(gloomy, ominous music)
(gloomy, ominous music)
No!
No!
Look!
You can't!
You can't do this!
Get out of the way!
W-Where did you
even come from?
(running steps)
I'm sorry. She's...
Is this your child?
Yes.
Well... technically.
She's in the way
of starting our work.
Move her out of the way!
Violet!
Please come back to the house.
It's not safe here.
No, these people are trying
to cut down the forest.
We can't let them!
This is ridiculous!
Move, girl!
I won't!
Lily, Noah!
Now look here, children.
Do you see this man?
This is Mr. Wreckett.
He's an important businessman.
He's purchased this forest
and he's cutting it down.
So we can build lots
of lovely new homes.
Don't you want new families
to be able to come
and live here?
Kids, come on. Let's
go back to the house.
If the forest is
private property,
we can't get involved.
No, Uncle Peter,
this is important.
The forest needs
to be protected.
Yeah, it needs
to be kept safe.
Please, Dad, don't let
them cut down the trees.
There's nothing
your mother and father
can do now, children.
The work is starting right now.
Wait, hold on!
This forest has
been here for years.
Shouldn't there have been...
a notice about a
new development?
We haven't seen anything.
There was a community
consultation weeks ago.
It's not Mr. Wreckett's
fault if you didn't
take any notice
of it at the time.
Besides,
it's all here on the sign.
(paper rustling)
You should've
spoken to the mayor
if you'd had any problems
with the development
being built.
Now, children!
(shouting) Move out of the way!
Don't talk to them like that.
The kids are clearly
attached to the forest.
There has to be a reason.
Irrelevant!
They'll find something else
to be interested in soon enough.
Do you have children?
(breathes heavily)
I haven't got
time to be bothered
with things like children.
Mm. Thought as much.
Remove them, or we'll
call the authorities.
That's enough, Fernsby.
Clearly, there's
something going on here.
(breathes heavily)
No one can say Mr.
Wreckett isn't a fair man.
(birds chirping)
If this forest is
so important to you
and your family...
I'll make you an offer.
I'll give you three days
to buy the forest off me.
(scoff)
But you have to pay me
what I paid for it.
Plus 20 percent interest.
For my time and trouble.
I can tell you it wasn't cheap.
However,
if you can't come
up with the money
in three days,
I will bulldoze this whole
forest and turn it to dirt.
And so as you children,
don't get in my way again.
I'll go to the local
council and I'll see to it
that you can no
longer live here.
You'll be forced
to move far away...
where you can't spoil my
lovely new development.
No, you can't do that.
Oh, I can.
Anika, there's no way.
Please.
Uncle Peter, Auntie Anika.
I'm begging you.
(birds chirping)
You have a deal, Mr. Wreckett.
Peter...
Great!
(melancholic music)
You'll be hearing from me.
(melancholic music)
Three days.
(melancholic music)
What are we gonna do?
(melancholic music continues)
Come here.
It's alright. It's okay.
It's okay.
Hmm.
(birds chirping)
(door shuts)
Now take your shoes off, please.
And Noah, Lily, just get ready
for school (inaudible)
We still have to go to school?
Yes.
We're gonna be late,
we still have to go.
(sighs)
And Violet, could
you help Lily, please?
Sure.
Come on, Lily.
Thank you.
(sighs)
I've emailed work,
and I'm gonna be late.
Oh.
Should do the same.
(silence)
How are we gonna come
with that kind of money
in three days?
I don't know.
We could use our savings.
No, it's not enough.
(silence)
Laura and Ben left
Violet an inheritance.
But that's for her.
We don't wanna touch it.
Plus, it can't be
accessed till she's 18.
Yeah.
Why did we agree to this?
Because of the kids, Anika.
Violet is talking again.
The forest must be
incredibly important
if the idea of losing it help
her find her voice again.
And just seeing Noah
and Lily standing there.
(sighs)
Oh, Mr. Wreckett
is a nasty man.
Can't believe he
would threaten us
out of our own home.
We can't let him.
We'll think of something.
Mm.
(sighs)
(exhales)
You're talking about
what to do, aren't you?
Yes, darling, but,
we'll figure it out.
We should do fundraiser.
You know what's a fundraiser?
It's like we did
with school last year.
It's raising money for charity.
So that everyone comes,
the whole village.
And there's games
and cakes and stuff.
Noah.
That is a brilliant idea.
(inspiring music)
Yeah, we could
do an auction with
donations and things like that,
and get work involved
so there's more people.
Lily and I can talk
to our classes about it.
Our friends can
tell their parents.
I can do that!
(chuckle)
It's settled then.
We'll get everybody
involved, okay?
The whole community and the...
The forest can
become a nature park
owned by the whole town.
You really think
we can save it?
We can certainly try.
Right.
Action stations, everyone.
Peter, you speak to work and see
if you can book the village
hall for two days time.
Okay.
Noah and Lily
will go to school
speak to the head teachers,
see if they can
help us and, Violet.
You make posters,
flyers, anything you can
so we can put it up everywhere.
You can use my color pen.
(laughter)
We're gonna save the forest.
(chuckle)
Yeah!
(uplifting music)
(uplifting music)
(uplifting music)
Look, we raised posters!
Woah!
The whole school is getting
ready for the fundraiser.
Good work
Come on, let's get
inside. Come on.
The Save The Forest
Fundraiser will be taking place
in Humbledown Village Hall.
Tomorrow between 10:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Right, yeah, put
some more greens
More colors here, guys.
Yeah.
Wow
Nice dots.
Well done, Lily.
Oh.
Wow. (laughing)
Well done, team! (claps)
This looks great.
I know school has
given you a day off
to prep for the fundraiser
but be good for dad, okay?
Please?
We'll be good.
Dad said he'll help us
make cupcakes at launch.
Mm.
We're gonna sell
them tomorrow.
That is a great idea.
But make sure you'll
make a lot of them
because there's
gonna be a big crowd.
(doorbell ringing)
Who could that be this
hour in the morning?
(door opens)
Oh, hi.
Hi.
Is this the Burton residence?
It is.
Can we help you?
Yes.
My name is Stacy Talbott.
I'm from the Evening News.
Oh. (chuckle)
I was hoping to get a
quick interview with you.
To talk about the fundraiser
to save the forest.
Um, yeah, yeah.
(birds chirping)
Firstly, I'm curious.
Why have you decided
to save the forest?
What makes it so important?
Well, I guess you
need to ask Violet.
She started it all.
(silence)
Violet?
My niece.
Violet?
Violet, would you
come here, please?
(whispers) Go!
Go
(footsteps)
Go.
(footsteps)
(silence)
Violet's mom
is... was my sister.
She and her husband
passed away recently and
we adopted Violet which
is why she's been with us.
Violet's been spending a
lot of time in the forest.
Haven't you, Violet?
(chuckle)
It's good to meet you, Violet.
In your own words,
can you tell me why the
forest is so important to you?
(breathes heavily)
It's okay.
Take your time.
I used to live in the city
where my mum and dad were alive.
So I didn't think
about nature a lot.
But when I got here,
I didn't much have to do
so I started to explore.
The forest is magical.
I've seen amazing things
in there everyday.
This weekend, I spent
the whole weekend
in the forest with my
cousins, Noah and Lily.
That's us.
It needs to be protected.
It's not just a bunch of trees
that then can be chopped down
and make more buildings.
It's a whole world.
I can't let anything that I love
to be taken away from me.
So, I'm fighting for it.
Thank you, Violet.
Truly inspiring words.
(melancholic music)
The Save The Forest Fundraiser
will be taking place in
Humbledown Village Hall.
Tomorrow between 10:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Well done, Violet.
That was amazing.
You were on telly.
I love it!
(uplifting music continues)
Your mum and dad
would be very proud.
I know that we are.
- Oh. Oh.
- Oh!
Oh.
(laughing)
Oh, Noah.
Ahh
(laughter)
(soft music continues)
(birds chirping)
(crowd buzzling)
(indistinct chatter)
Ssh-ssh-ssh.
Welcome everyone, to the
Save Our Forest Fundraiser.
My name is Mrs. Foster.
And I'm the school head teacher.
And I've been given
the honour in declaring
that the fundraiser is
now officially open.
(crowd applauding and cheering)
So, sign up for the raffle.
Take part in the auction.
Open your hearts
and your wallets
to this amazing cause.
Thank you very much!

Thank you, Sue.
Violet, this is Mrs. Foster.
Hello, kids.
It's a pleasure to
meet you, Violet.
I'm really impressed with
what you've done here.
You've really brought
the community together.
Well done!
And to watch your interview
in telly last night.
That was really brave.
I can't wait to see
you when you decide
to start school with us.
Your Uncle has explained
everything to me
so take your time making
that decision, okay?
And we'll be really excited
for when you join us.
Oh.
Someone's waving at me.
I better go and
see what they want.
See you later, kids.
(in unison) Bye, Mrs. Foster.
Bye.
(playful music)
(cheering and applauding)
Hi, everyone.
I'm Peter and this is Anika
and we are the Burtons.
We are the proud parents
to Noah and Lily,
and proud aunt and
uncle to Violet.
It's so wonderful to see
so many of you here today
to support the cause. (chuckle)
And it's even more amazing
that we pulled this together
in just.. two days (chuckle).
So...
thank you so, so much
for getting involved
and for being here.
Thank you.
Yeah, and thank you
to this fundraiser
and some really, really
generous donations.
It's our absolute
pleasure to announce...
We've raised enough
to save the forest.
(cheering and applauding
(loud bang)
This is preposterous!
What is this?
Don't you people have jobs?
(silence)
Hello, Mr. Wreckett.
Oh. Sheez.
Welcome to our fundraiser.
Everyone, this is the
developer we are going to be
buying the forest from.
You'd be doing no such thing.
But we raised the
full amount you wanted.
Oh.
This fundraiser is being
a waste of your time.
You're all fools!
You think I'll sell that
land to your community?
When I build my houses,
I'll make millions
mores selling them
than (inaudible) with a cupcake.
(crowd booing)
We'll never buy
houses from you!
You suck!
(crowd enraged)
Go away!
Yeah, go away!
Take your development
somewhere else.
We don't want it here.
Get out of here!
(crowd continues booing)
You can shove it up your bum!
That's enough!
None of you know
anything about business.
Huh! Are you going back
on our deal, Mr. Wreckett?
Mr. Wreckett hasn't
actually signed any deal.
There was no written contract.
So it's not legally binding.
Mr. Wreckett is
under no obligation
to see through your deal.
(silence)
But that's not fair!
That's not right!
(crowd booing)
(crowd booing)
Oh!
Mendez...
What are you doing here?
I've come to support
this fundraiser.
But, sir, you can't be serious
if you're supporting
the fundraiser,
that means that you're...
Yes, Fernsby.
In light of the new
evidence reported by Violet
and the Burton family,
showcasing how important
our local forest is
to this community,
I've decided that the
land is more important
to this town than any
building development.
Uh...
But we had a contract.
You signed and agreed
to the development plan.
Hmm.
This contract?
Yeah.
Feel free to consider
the contract terminated.
(ripping)
(crowd cheering and applauding)
You should expect a
cheque within a few days
for the amount raised today.
This isn't the end of this.
I'll get my development
one way or another.
You need houses.
I'll be back, you'll see!
Aaagh!
(loud thud)
(whimsical music)
Oh.
(grunts)
(growls)
(woman laughing from a far)
(panting)
Gaaaah!
(crowd laughing)
(whimsical music)
We did it!
(giggles) We did it!
There's not much to say.
Yeah!
(laughter)
Violet.
I have a feeling that
wherever they are,
your mum and dad would
be watching this.
I know.
I think I'm ready to
start school on Monday.
I mean next week.
I'll like to start
with Noah, and Lily.
If that's okay?
Of course.
Yes, we'll speak
to Mrs. Foster
and get everything arranged.
Come on.
(giggles)
Oh.
(breathes)
(whispering)
(music chiming)
(dramatic mystical music)
Thank you, everyone,
for coming to this momentous day
when we will be
officially opening
the new forest nature reserve.
(cheering and applauding)
Violet.
Can I invite you up to
cut our ceremonial ribbon?
That's it.
(birds chirping)
We now declare...
The forest nature reserve...
open.
(cheering and applauding)
Well done, Violet.
Excellent work.
Well done.
(cheering and applauding)
(melancholic music)
(distant chatter)
(howling)
(mystical music)
Can we go to the forest
again now that it's open?
This ceremony is boring.
Can we, Auntie Anika?
Okay, yes.
Sure.
(laughs)
Go have fun.
Make sure your home in
time for dinner, please.
We will be.
(laughter in the background)
(indistinct chatter)
You know, I still don't know
what they found in the forest.
(chuckle)
But whatever it is,
it must be special.
It was worth all this.

How are you doing
back there, Violet?
Are you comfortable?
(wind gushing)
Is there anything... you need,
when we get back?
I don't know if you're...
hungry or anything?
(wind gushing)
It'll be nice to see Noah
and Lily again, won't it?
I mean, they're looking forward
to having you come
and live with us.
Lily, especially.
(chuckles)
(pensive music)
Well, it won't be long now.
Be home soon.

Not as good as it could be,
given the circumstances.

Kids are inside
waiting to say hello.
(mellow music)
Do you want to?
(soft music)
(leaves rustling)
(soft music)
(pebbles crumbling)
(soft music)
Hey, Violet. (breathes)
How you doing?
I'm sorry I couldn't come with
Auntie Anika to pick you up.
It would have meant bringing
Noah and Lily in the car.
I think that'd be a
bit busy, wouldn't it?
Anyway, did you pack
all your things?
They're in the back of the car?
(soft music) (birds chirping)
What's in this one then?
(soft music) (birds chirping)
Okay.
You take that one.
Auntie Anika's going to
show you around the house.
I know you haven't been
to our house before.
(mellow music continues)
We used to come and visit
you in the city, didn't we?
(mellow music)
Anyway...
I'm glad you're here now.
(tapping)
(footsteps approaching)
Hey, look who's here!
(chuckles)
Cousin Violet, you're here!
(background noise)
(silence)
Hello.
(silence)
I'm really sorry what
happened to Auntie Laura
and Uncle Ben,
the accident.
(silence)
Yeah, we're sorry it happened.
We'll miss them.
(silence)
We most definitely will.
(silence)
But, we're very happy
to have Violet come and
live with us, aren't we?
Yes.
I guess.
(silence)
And, we're going to
make her feel welcome,
aren't we?
- Yeah.
- She's part of the family.
Yes.
(silence)
Hey Lily, why don't you
show Violet your bedroom?
I hope you don't mind, Violet,
but you're going to
be sharing with Lily.
Come on, let's go.
(footsteps)
Do you like bunnies?
(thuds)
(footsteps)
(sighs)
I missed you, darling.
Mmm.
- Come on, let's go find Dad.
- Okay.
I think he needs some help.
(footsteps) (door opens)
(footsteps)
This is my room.
Well, it was my room.
Now it's our room.
I told Mummy that I
wouldn't mind sharing.
(silence)
I can give you a
bunny if you want.
(silence)
Do you like bunnies?
(footsteps)
(thuds)
This is your bed.
(bird chirping)
Daddy said if you
don't have many toys,
we can go to the shop.
Did you bring any
teddies to decorate?
(silence)
Why aren't you speaking?
(silence)
It's okay.
If you don't speak,
we can play a game.
I'll go get some colouring pens.
(silence)
(thuds)
(thump)
How was the drive?
Yeah. Well, it was
long, but yeah, okay.
(chuckles)
(click)
(long sigh)
(minimal bird chirping)
Hey.
How are you holding up?
I'm okay.
It's just hard, you know...
seeing Violet this way.
(birds chirping)
Yeah, Violet isn't talking.
Like, she didn't say
anything on the journey here.
Not when we were parking the car
or driving over here,
and she didn't say anything
to Noah and Lily
just now either.
I don't think
she said anything
since the accident happened.
It was the same at the funeral.
She didn't say a word.
(melancholic music)
Could be and the shock...
(sighs)
Sadness... (sighs)
(melancholic music)
But either way, we'll...
we'll do what we can for her,
and hopefully in time,
she'll come out of her shell
and she'll start talking again.
(birds chirping)
This all feels like a dream.
(birds chirping in distance)
Do you remember last Christmas,
when we went to see
them in the city?
Mm.
Yeah.
That was a great trip.
(minimal bird chirping)
And now it's...
Look, it's...
It's going to take time...
for everyone to heal,
okay, including you.
Good days and bad days.
Yeah.
Thank you, by the way.
For what?
For going to pick up Violet.
For moving the rest of the
stuff out of the house.
I really couldn't face it.
Not without Laura and Ben there.
No, it's okay.
(sighs)
I understand, and you
don't need to thank me.
Besides, someone had to look
after those two rascals.
True.
Speaking of rascals,
where's Lily gone to?
Oh, I told her to
show Violet the bedroom.
I thought we should just
leave them to it, you know,
so they can get to
know each other, and...
Oh, nice.
(thud)
Do you want a tea?
Oh, absolutely. I'm parched.
(sighs)
(spoon clinks)
(melancholic music)
(tapping)
(tapping)
(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
(knocking)
(melancholic music)
Hi, Violet.
(melancholic music continues)
(sighs)
Wow.
Love what you've
done to the place.
(melancholic music)
If Lily's things start
to creep onto your side,
you just tell her, okay?
Because she's not
used to sharing.
(silence)
Or, you know, you could...
you know, move them
yourself as well, of course.
That's...
That's fine.
If you're not talking.
(silence)
We are going to have dinner...
in about half an hour.
If there's anything
you'd like to eat?
(silence)
We usually have
dinner downstairs together at the table.
If you'd like to join us.
(silence)
Okay.
Well, have a think.
It's up to you.
I'll just set you a place
at the table in case, okay?
(melancholic music continues)
(thud)
(somber music)
(cutlery clinks)
(cutlery clinks)
(clutters)
(sighs) (footsteps)
Anika, dinner's ready.
Coming!
(thuds)
(sighs)
Oh wow!
This looks lovely, Peter.
(chuckles)
Only the best for my best.
(kiss)
Eww, stop being gross.
What?
You mean like this?
(kissing and chuckling)
(laughing)
(wretching) (laughing)
Shush, you.
(giggling)
There you are.
(background noise)
Oh.
No, Violet then?
No. (sighs)
I told her she could
come and join us
if she wanted to, but...
her decision.
How come Violet doesn't
have to eat at the table?
Yeah, why do we
and she doesn't?
Well, it's Violet's
first night with us and,
she's in a new house,
in a new room.
Must be quite scary;
don't you think?
I would be scared
without my bunnies!
Exactly!
That's how Violet
feels right now.
So if she wants to
stay somewhere safe,
like her new room,
then we respect that.
I guess...
Will Violet come to
dinner with us tomorrow,
or the next day?
I think she'll have
dinner with us eventually.
We're not going to
force her, are we?
No
No
Good.
Right!
Bon appetit, everyone!
Here we are!
(grunts)
(utensils clanking)
Here you are!
(plates clattering)
Thank you.
(plates clanking)
Thank you.
This is yummy, Daddy.
Yeah. (laughs)
Glad you like it.

We're going to be late!
We're going to be late!
Not again!
I know, we forgot
to put the alarm.
Come on!
Noah, are you dressed yet?
I can't live with
these conditions.
(whimsical music continues)
(soft horn music)
Oh Lily, you can't wear that.
(whimsical notes)
But it's my fashion!
You have to wear your
school unform to school.
Ugh!
(drawers opening)
That's so boring.
My teacher will love it more!
School uniform only to school.
Come on! Let's get
you dressed properly.
Come on!
(classic whimsical music)
(shuffling)
(classic whimsical music)
(classic whimsical music)
Oh, good!
You're both ready!
Okay, Lily, Noah...
Come on, come on, come on.
Wait, wait, wait.
Noah's got PE today.
Here, Noah, turn around.
Look at the shoe.
Noah...
Noah's shoes...
Okay.
Any sign of Violet?
She's still in bed.
Okay! Jackets on.
Outside.
Don't want to be late!
(whimsical music)
(thump)
Bye, darling. (smooch)
Bye.
(door shuts)

Great. So if you
have any questions,
just drop me a message.
Thanks for today.
All right, see you later on.
Thanks, Claire!
Good to meet you.
Bye.
(melancholic music)
(sighs)
(melancholic music)
Violet.
I was just, uh...
Nevermind.
Would you like some breakfast?
(tinkering)
(clinking)
Is there anything else
I can get you, Violet?
(silence)
Would you like
anything else to eat?
(silence)
Good.
Well, uh...
(silence)
I better get back to work.
If you need me, just
come to the office. Okay?
(silence)
Feel free to watch the telly...
play games in your room or...
Oh, we've got a big garden,
so if you want to go
outside and explore...
go for it.
(silence)
Okay. Mm...
What else?
Oh, snacks!
If you get hungry,
there's some, uh,
snacks in the drawer.
Okay?
Good.
Well, I've got a meeting
about to start so,
I'll see you later.

Oh! Hi, Violet!
You have been for a walk?
I know you just back
but have you seen...
Violet?
(wind gushing)
Where'd you get to, I've been
looking everywhere for you?
Oh, I think she
went for a walk.
A walk?
(laughs)
I guess I did say.
All right, good. Okay.
Who's hungry?
- Me.
- Me.
Okay. I'll make
us a snack, shall I?
No, Peter not before dinner.
Ah, come on!
I want to change jeans.

Oh. Hello, Violet.
Did you sleep well?
(rustling)
Is it time to go, Mommy?
(sighs) Yes, darling.
Shall we go down and
get some breakfast?
Give Violet some privacy, hey?
Come.
(rustling)
(minimal birds chirping)
Okay. Bye, darling...
Bye. Have a good day.
Mm.
Oh, um, Violet
hasn't eaten yet.
- She's in her room.
- Alright.
So...
Bye, love you.
Love you too.
(wind gushing)
(birds chirping)
(crockery clinking)
(clattering)
(wood creaking)
I know you're
having a lazy morning,
but I thought you might
want something to eat.
Don't tell the others though.
They're not usually
allowed breakfast in bed.
I think we can make an
exception this time, can't we?
(background noise)
I know these first few days
are going to be hard for you...
(melancholic music)
But I want you to know you
can talk to us about anything.
You're safe here.
(melancholic music)
It is hard, isn't it?
When you lose people
that you love.
(melancholic music)
Your mum and dad
were very special.
(melancholic music)
I miss them a lot.
(melancholic music)
Especially your mum.
She was my favorite sister.
Fine.
She was my only sister,
but it still counts, right?
(melancholic music)
I know there's a lot
you're going to be missing at the moment.
Not just them, but
your old house,
your old school...
(melancholic music continues)
So we just take each
day as it comes.
Don't we?
(melancholic music continues)
If there's anything
that you need,
you just let me or Anika know.
(melancholic music)
Good.
Well, I've got to get
back to work now so, uh,
the house is yours again.
Though, I was very
worried yesterday
when I couldn't find you, okay?
So there's a big white board
beside the fridge today.
If you go outside,
can you write on it, please?
Yeah?
Just so I know you've gone.
Thank you.
Right.
Got to run, got a meeting so,
I'll see you a bit later, yeah?
Okay.

Mmm.
(chuckles)
It's your favorite,
isn't it done well?
This will be...
Oh.
Hey, Violet.
Are you joining us?
Okay, yeah.
Do you wanna sit there?
(chuckles)
So, how's
everybody's day today?
- Good.
- Good?
What did we do in school?
Is there anything?
Um... We got some new fish.
New fish?
Yeah, for the class.
We have to look after them.
Today, I did some drawing
and painting all day long.
It was the best day ever!
Double art!
What a great day!
(chuckles)
What about you, Violet?
I saw you left a
note in the board.
Where did you explore today?
(silence)
Oh, you went outside again.
Make sure you wear your coat
if you're playing in the garden
because it is
getting a bit chilly.
You know, tonight
I was thinking
- we could do a big fire..
- Yeah!
Yeah?
Oh, can I help with the fire?
(chuckles)
How do you feel if we do it?
Mm.
Hmm-mm.
Right again.
(chuckles)
Mm.
More than Mommy.
Mm. (chuckle)
(clanking)
Good. Now, watch out.
(clicking sound)
(fire softly roaring)
(popping)
Woah!
(fire softly roaring)
Cool, isn't it?
(fire softly roaring)
Heh.
Wish I've hot chocolates.
Hot chocolate?
What made you think of that?
The fire.
Let's use for the
students quote...
Light a fire, and you
drink your chocolate
with marsh mellows in.
Oh, a hot chocolate's
got marsh mellow.
Isn't now, is it?
Duh!
You can't have it
without marsh mellows.
That would just be
weird, right, Violet?
(fire softly roaring)
Well, I can't argue with that.
(fire softly roaring)
(thud) (wood squeak)
Better make one for
your mom and sister too.
Bath time's finishing soon.
(fire softly roaring)
(rattling)
(fire softly roaring)
(fire softly roaring)
What are you drawing?
(fire softly roaring)
Did you hear me?
I said what are you drawing?
(sighs)
(huffs)
You don't know or you
don't wanna tell me?
(fire softly roaring)
Fine, whatever.
(fire softly roaring)
Dad, can I help with
the marsh mellows in?
(melancholic music)
(fire crackling)
(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
Weee...
(giggles)
You found my color pens,
what are you drawing?
I... think it's a horse...
That's a unicorn!
Oh, yeah.
I think your right, Lily.
It's a unicorn.
It's very good, Violet.
I want to draw a unicorn!
(laugh)
Well, I'm sure Violet
wouldn't mind if you joined her.
(soft music)
Say, "Thank you."
- Thank you.
- Good.
(chuckle)
What have you got there?
Hot chocolate.
I did the marshmellows myself.
He certainly did.
All seven of them.
I told you I'd eat them all.
Here you go, girls.
And spoons to scoop.
Uh...
Where's mine?
They're in the kitchen.
Special adult hot chocolate
with the
extra ingredient we both like.
Mm.
I want extra ingredients.
Not until your older.
Is it orange juice?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
(giggles)
(slurps)
I'll come with you.
(melancholic music)
(melancholic music)
(knocking on the door)
Morning, you two!
Is it time to get up now?
Yes, love.
Time to get you ready for
another day of school.
I want Violet to
help me get ready.
(playful music)
You want Violet to help you?
Yes! Go make us breakfast.
Oh.
Yes, your majesty.
I will prepare the royal feast.
(giggles)
Is that okay with you, Violet?
Yay! Violet, I
wanted to wear this!
(playful music continues)
School uniform only, Lily!
I'm not doing this
every morning.
Come on.
Oh. Fine...
(playful music continues)
(playful music continues)
(clanking)
Here you are.
(thuds)
Oh, you made it. Great.
(chuckles)
Let's get you up.
Okay.
Are you coming to
school today, Violet?
I think it's a
bit soon for that.
But it's nice to see Violet
for breakfast this
morning, isn't?
Right!
Hurry up, you two!
You need to leave soon.
Hi, Violet!
Coffee?
No, thank you.
We better need to leave soon.
Come on. Hey!
Come on. Eat up, eat up.
(clinking)
(clinking)
I wasn't expecting to see
Violet up for breakfast.
Neither was I.
(sighs)
Still it's progress, isn't it?
Yeah.
I hope it lasts.
She did much better today.
Mm.
Oh, it's time.
Oh, kids! (claps)
Come on, come on, come on.

There's no school on Saturday.
That means I'll be able
to play with you all day.
(playful music)
Let's go wake
Mommy and Daddy up.
Daddy usually snores...
(playful music continues)
- Mm.
- Oh.
I could take them
this afternoon maybe.
What do you think?
Mm, coming now.
Morning, girls.
We weren't expecting
you to be up so early.
Oh. (grunts)
Ah.
(chuckle)
We tried to wake you up.
(chuckles)
Violet forgot we didn't forgot
have school on Saturday.
(laughter and chuckle)
It's easy to loose track
of the days when you're home.
I do it too sometimes.
(chuckles)
So does anyone
want some breakfast?
Mmm.
- Yes.
- Mm.
Morning.
I had funny dreams last night.
Bad ones?
No, just weird.
What about?
What's for breakfast?
Cereal.
Can we have pancakes instead?
Yeah, pancakes.
Uh...
Let's do pancakes tomorrow.
Fine.
(chuckle)
Can I have some toast then?

What are you staring at?
Do you wanna go and
play in Wendy house?
I'll come with you.
Do you wanna watch anything?
We'll show you a show.
Movie?
What music do you like?
Stop it, Noah!
What? I'm just interested.
She's not gonna
tell you so stop it.
Why not? It's not a big deal.
She should be able to tell us.
(footsteps)
(thud) (thumping)
Hey!
Hello, you two!
(giggle)
I was about to come
and find you actually.
We're gonna make brownies.
Who wants to help?
Me, me!
Yeah. Okay.
(laugh)
Let's get you up.
Ready?
Woah!
Okay!
How about you, Violet?
Would you like to help?
All right. Maybe next time.
Let's get you an apron.
(grunts)
Peter, where did
even put that wisk?
I'm not sure.
All right, here we go.
Okay. Good.
Right. Just scrape
all those edges down.
There we are.
If I turn it, and you scrape...
Perfect!
Let's give it a big mix.
- It's smooth.
- Very smooth.
- It is smooth.
You did very well
with the mixing.
All right. I can use a bit
more though, Lily, so...
let's give it a big stir.
Are you ready?
There we go.
Yes, that's it.
(playful music)
Perfect!
Mmm.- The more we stir,
the more we'll get.
Exactly. How many do you
think we can get from this?
Mm?
Probably like...
the biggest number in the world.
The biggest
number in the world?
- No.
- Scrape, scrape.
- Scrape.
- There we go.
You can give it a mix again.
- Mix.
- That's it.
If your arms get
tired, switch hands or
you use both.
Mm. Look at that.
Wow!
Scrape that with the...
Woah!
Okay, that is probably wrong.
Oh. Perfect!
It's perfect.
Okay. You can give
it a mix again.
That's it. Try your best.
Scrape it down.
What we'll do is
right at the end.
The more we get on the
edges and scrape it down,
the more we will get.

How long have you
been coming here?
How long have you known?
Sssh.
(whispers) Is that a real-life unicorn?
Sssh.
And you are friends with
the unicorn, aren't you?
Is this what you've
been doing all week,
coming out here?

This was the best day ever.
I saw you fast-
I saw you going out the window
and then I asked Daddy
if I could come...
outside with you...
And then I'd lost you for a bit.
And then I found that
you had a real-life unicorn...
I can't wait to tell
Mommy and Daddy.
Shhh.
Why, I can't tell
Mommy and Daddy?
But why?
(melancholic music)
It's a secret?
Then it's a secret.
Can we come back tomorrow?
(birds chirping)
(soft music continues)
Hey, everybody looks like...
(inaudible)
(laughter)
I'm so mean. (sniffs)
I had to let you look...
(laughter)
I thought we were talking
about the little one.
How dare you.
(laughter)
(melancholic music continues)
Um., what are two
whispering about?
Nothing. We're
just planning today.
Mm, what you
have planned then?
A picnic in the forest.
It's a good idea.
Family picnic in the forest.
No, just for us.
What about me?
I like picnics.
It's not a boys thing.
It's not a family thing.
It's a girls thing.
For me and Violet.
It was our idea.
(playful music)
Don't worry, Noah.
We'll find something
better to do.
Let the girls have
their space for the day.
So do you need help
preparing this picnic?
Or you're gonna do
that yourself as well?
We need help, please.
You two sure you're going
to be okay on your own?
Yeah.
(playful music continues)
Well, Violet.
You're in charge so
look after Lily, please.
And if it... rains or if
you get too cold outside,
you just make sure you
come straight home. Okay?
Yes, Mommy.
Have fun!
(playful music continues)
Looks like they're
having a nice time.
Yeah.
I wish they would let
Noah join in though.
I really feel for him.
It'll happen.
Give it time.
Noah and Violet
are closer in age,
so I imagine it's
taking them longer
to figure each other out.
Yeah, you're right.
Mom, Dad.
In here, Noah.
I'm going to
play in the garden.
Okay, I'll come with you.
We'll have a kick about.
No, that's okay.
Oh, okay.
Have fun!
(running steps)
He got over that quickly.
See? Told you.
Go ahead, pass me
that dish, will you?
(playful, mystical music)
(rustling)
(mystical music)
(mystical music)
Oh, no, where is it?
Where is he gone, Violet?
What if it's hurt?
We can't have a picnic now,
we need to go and
find the unicorn.
(melancholic music continues)
(birds chirping)
(zips)
How can you be so calm
when the unicorn's gone?
I've really wanted
to see it again.
The unicorn!
Ugh! Spider webs.
Noah, what are you doing here?
It's not fair.
Why do you get to have
a picnic without me?
I should be able to come
to the forest as well.
It doesn't belong to you.
You followed us, didn't you?
So what if I did?
Why are you talking
about unicorns?
None of your beeswax.
You know, they
don't exist, right?
Yeah, they do.
You take that back!
No, they don't!
They're just a story told
to little babies like you.
I'm not a baby!
How about you just go away?
I don't have to
if I don't want to.
(music chiming)
The unicorn, it's here!
(clip clops)
(music continues)
Told you...
That... is impossible!
It's right here, Noah!
Use your eyes.
How can it be real?
Magic!
I did not know that, did I?
You still mean that you didn't
let me come to your picnic?
We weren't trying to be mean.
It's just that, we
can't tell anyone.
Not even Mommy and Daddy.
I can keep a secret.
Are you sure?
Yes.
So, can I stay and
have a picnic with you?
(birds chirping)
Yes, if you're
going to be nice.
(soft music)
(soft music)
(playful music)
(playful music)
(playful music)
(mystical music)
(mystical music)
(playful music)
(playful music)
It's time to go now.
Oh.
Not again.
Mom and Dad will be wondering
where we've got to otherwise.
Let me say goodbye first.
(birds chirping)
(zipping)
(birds chirping)
I wasn't trying to
be mean yesterday.
Annoying.
When I asked you
those questions,
I was just trying to understand.
I think I get it now.
I'm sorry about Auntie
Laura and Uncle Ben.
I really am.
But you can be part
of our family now.
If you want.
My mom and dad can
look after you.
I know it's not the same but,
at least it's something.
And if you decide you want
to come to school soon,
I can introduce
you to my teacher.
I think we'll be
in the same class.
(rustling)
(birds chirping)
(mellow music)
(birds chirping)
(mellow music)
Goodbye.
See you soon, I hope.
(mellow music)
(power saw roaring from a far)
(power saw roaring from a far)
What's that noise?
(power saw roaring from a far)
What are they doing, Violet?
(gloomy music)
It looks like they're
cutting down the trees
in the forest.
They can't do that!
The unicorn's in there.
Where are you going?
(gloomy, ominous music)
Wait for me, Violet!
Wait! Wait!
(gloomy, ominous music
continues)
Mommy, Daddy, it's
Violet has gone outside!
What?
Lily?
(engine roaring)
(whirring)
(gloomy, ominous music)
(gloomy, ominous music)
No!
No!
Look!
You can't!
You can't do this!
Get out of the way!
W-Where did you
even come from?
(running steps)
I'm sorry. She's...
Is this your child?
Yes.
Well... technically.
She's in the way
of starting our work.
Move her out of the way!
Violet!
Please come back to the house.
It's not safe here.
No, these people are trying
to cut down the forest.
We can't let them!
This is ridiculous!
Move, girl!
I won't!
Lily, Noah!
Now look here, children.
Do you see this man?
This is Mr. Wreckett.
He's an important businessman.
He's purchased this forest
and he's cutting it down.
So we can build lots
of lovely new homes.
Don't you want new families
to be able to come
and live here?
Kids, come on. Let's
go back to the house.
If the forest is
private property,
we can't get involved.
No, Uncle Peter,
this is important.
The forest needs
to be protected.
Yeah, it needs
to be kept safe.
Please, Dad, don't let
them cut down the trees.
There's nothing
your mother and father
can do now, children.
The work is starting right now.
Wait, hold on!
This forest has
been here for years.
Shouldn't there have been...
a notice about a
new development?
We haven't seen anything.
There was a community
consultation weeks ago.
It's not Mr. Wreckett's
fault if you didn't
take any notice
of it at the time.
Besides,
it's all here on the sign.
(paper rustling)
You should've
spoken to the mayor
if you'd had any problems
with the development
being built.
Now, children!
(shouting) Move out of the way!
Don't talk to them like that.
The kids are clearly
attached to the forest.
There has to be a reason.
Irrelevant!
They'll find something else
to be interested in soon enough.
Do you have children?
(breathes heavily)
I haven't got
time to be bothered
with things like children.
Mm. Thought as much.
Remove them, or we'll
call the authorities.
That's enough, Fernsby.
Clearly, there's
something going on here.
(breathes heavily)
No one can say Mr.
Wreckett isn't a fair man.
(birds chirping)
If this forest is
so important to you
and your family...
I'll make you an offer.
I'll give you three days
to buy the forest off me.
(scoff)
But you have to pay me
what I paid for it.
Plus 20 percent interest.
For my time and trouble.
I can tell you it wasn't cheap.
However,
if you can't come
up with the money
in three days,
I will bulldoze this whole
forest and turn it to dirt.
And so as you children,
don't get in my way again.
I'll go to the local
council and I'll see to it
that you can no
longer live here.
You'll be forced
to move far away...
where you can't spoil my
lovely new development.
No, you can't do that.
Oh, I can.
Anika, there's no way.
Please.
Uncle Peter, Auntie Anika.
I'm begging you.
(birds chirping)
You have a deal, Mr. Wreckett.
Peter...
Great!
(melancholic music)
You'll be hearing from me.
(melancholic music)
Three days.
(melancholic music)
What are we gonna do?
(melancholic music continues)
Come here.
It's alright. It's okay.
It's okay.
Hmm.
(birds chirping)
(door shuts)
Now take your shoes off, please.
And Noah, Lily, just get ready
for school (inaudible)
We still have to go to school?
Yes.
We're gonna be late,
we still have to go.
(sighs)
And Violet, could
you help Lily, please?
Sure.
Come on, Lily.
Thank you.
(sighs)
I've emailed work,
and I'm gonna be late.
Oh.
Should do the same.
(silence)
How are we gonna come
with that kind of money
in three days?
I don't know.
We could use our savings.
No, it's not enough.
(silence)
Laura and Ben left
Violet an inheritance.
But that's for her.
We don't wanna touch it.
Plus, it can't be
accessed till she's 18.
Yeah.
Why did we agree to this?
Because of the kids, Anika.
Violet is talking again.
The forest must be
incredibly important
if the idea of losing it help
her find her voice again.
And just seeing Noah
and Lily standing there.
(sighs)
Oh, Mr. Wreckett
is a nasty man.
Can't believe he
would threaten us
out of our own home.
We can't let him.
We'll think of something.
Mm.
(sighs)
(exhales)
You're talking about
what to do, aren't you?
Yes, darling, but,
we'll figure it out.
We should do fundraiser.
You know what's a fundraiser?
It's like we did
with school last year.
It's raising money for charity.
So that everyone comes,
the whole village.
And there's games
and cakes and stuff.
Noah.
That is a brilliant idea.
(inspiring music)
Yeah, we could
do an auction with
donations and things like that,
and get work involved
so there's more people.
Lily and I can talk
to our classes about it.
Our friends can
tell their parents.
I can do that!
(chuckle)
It's settled then.
We'll get everybody
involved, okay?
The whole community and the...
The forest can
become a nature park
owned by the whole town.
You really think
we can save it?
We can certainly try.
Right.
Action stations, everyone.
Peter, you speak to work and see
if you can book the village
hall for two days time.
Okay.
Noah and Lily
will go to school
speak to the head teachers,
see if they can
help us and, Violet.
You make posters,
flyers, anything you can
so we can put it up everywhere.
You can use my color pen.
(laughter)
We're gonna save the forest.
(chuckle)
Yeah!
(uplifting music)
(uplifting music)
(uplifting music)
Look, we raised posters!
Woah!
The whole school is getting
ready for the fundraiser.
Good work
Come on, let's get
inside. Come on.
The Save The Forest
Fundraiser will be taking place
in Humbledown Village Hall.
Tomorrow between 10:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Right, yeah, put
some more greens
More colors here, guys.
Yeah.
Wow
Nice dots.
Well done, Lily.
Oh.
Wow. (laughing)
Well done, team! (claps)
This looks great.
I know school has
given you a day off
to prep for the fundraiser
but be good for dad, okay?
Please?
We'll be good.
Dad said he'll help us
make cupcakes at launch.
Mm.
We're gonna sell
them tomorrow.
That is a great idea.
But make sure you'll
make a lot of them
because there's
gonna be a big crowd.
(doorbell ringing)
Who could that be this
hour in the morning?
(door opens)
Oh, hi.
Hi.
Is this the Burton residence?
It is.
Can we help you?
Yes.
My name is Stacy Talbott.
I'm from the Evening News.
Oh. (chuckle)
I was hoping to get a
quick interview with you.
To talk about the fundraiser
to save the forest.
Um, yeah, yeah.
(birds chirping)
Firstly, I'm curious.
Why have you decided
to save the forest?
What makes it so important?
Well, I guess you
need to ask Violet.
She started it all.
(silence)
Violet?
My niece.
Violet?
Violet, would you
come here, please?
(whispers) Go!
Go
(footsteps)
Go.
(footsteps)
(silence)
Violet's mom
is... was my sister.
She and her husband
passed away recently and
we adopted Violet which
is why she's been with us.
Violet's been spending a
lot of time in the forest.
Haven't you, Violet?
(chuckle)
It's good to meet you, Violet.
In your own words,
can you tell me why the
forest is so important to you?
(breathes heavily)
It's okay.
Take your time.
I used to live in the city
where my mum and dad were alive.
So I didn't think
about nature a lot.
But when I got here,
I didn't much have to do
so I started to explore.
The forest is magical.
I've seen amazing things
in there everyday.
This weekend, I spent
the whole weekend
in the forest with my
cousins, Noah and Lily.
That's us.
It needs to be protected.
It's not just a bunch of trees
that then can be chopped down
and make more buildings.
It's a whole world.
I can't let anything that I love
to be taken away from me.
So, I'm fighting for it.
Thank you, Violet.
Truly inspiring words.
(melancholic music)
The Save The Forest Fundraiser
will be taking place in
Humbledown Village Hall.
Tomorrow between 10:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Well done, Violet.
That was amazing.
You were on telly.
I love it!
(uplifting music continues)
Your mum and dad
would be very proud.
I know that we are.
- Oh. Oh.
- Oh!
Oh.
(laughing)
Oh, Noah.
Ahh
(laughter)
(soft music continues)
(birds chirping)
(crowd buzzling)
(indistinct chatter)
Ssh-ssh-ssh.
Welcome everyone, to the
Save Our Forest Fundraiser.
My name is Mrs. Foster.
And I'm the school head teacher.
And I've been given
the honour in declaring
that the fundraiser is
now officially open.
(crowd applauding and cheering)
So, sign up for the raffle.
Take part in the auction.
Open your hearts
and your wallets
to this amazing cause.
Thank you very much!

Thank you, Sue.
Violet, this is Mrs. Foster.
Hello, kids.
It's a pleasure to
meet you, Violet.
I'm really impressed with
what you've done here.
You've really brought
the community together.
Well done!
And to watch your interview
in telly last night.
That was really brave.
I can't wait to see
you when you decide
to start school with us.
Your Uncle has explained
everything to me
so take your time making
that decision, okay?
And we'll be really excited
for when you join us.
Oh.
Someone's waving at me.
I better go and
see what they want.
See you later, kids.
(in unison) Bye, Mrs. Foster.
Bye.
(playful music)
(cheering and applauding)
Hi, everyone.
I'm Peter and this is Anika
and we are the Burtons.
We are the proud parents
to Noah and Lily,
and proud aunt and
uncle to Violet.
It's so wonderful to see
so many of you here today
to support the cause. (chuckle)
And it's even more amazing
that we pulled this together
in just.. two days (chuckle).
So...
thank you so, so much
for getting involved
and for being here.
Thank you.
Yeah, and thank you
to this fundraiser
and some really, really
generous donations.
It's our absolute
pleasure to announce...
We've raised enough
to save the forest.
(cheering and applauding
(loud bang)
This is preposterous!
What is this?
Don't you people have jobs?
(silence)
Hello, Mr. Wreckett.
Oh. Sheez.
Welcome to our fundraiser.
Everyone, this is the
developer we are going to be
buying the forest from.
You'd be doing no such thing.
But we raised the
full amount you wanted.
Oh.
This fundraiser is being
a waste of your time.
You're all fools!
You think I'll sell that
land to your community?
When I build my houses,
I'll make millions
mores selling them
than (inaudible) with a cupcake.
(crowd booing)
We'll never buy
houses from you!
You suck!
(crowd enraged)
Go away!
Yeah, go away!
Take your development
somewhere else.
We don't want it here.
Get out of here!
(crowd continues booing)
You can shove it up your bum!
That's enough!
None of you know
anything about business.
Huh! Are you going back
on our deal, Mr. Wreckett?
Mr. Wreckett hasn't
actually signed any deal.
There was no written contract.
So it's not legally binding.
Mr. Wreckett is
under no obligation
to see through your deal.
(silence)
But that's not fair!
That's not right!
(crowd booing)
(crowd booing)
Oh!
Mendez...
What are you doing here?
I've come to support
this fundraiser.
But, sir, you can't be serious
if you're supporting
the fundraiser,
that means that you're...
Yes, Fernsby.
In light of the new
evidence reported by Violet
and the Burton family,
showcasing how important
our local forest is
to this community,
I've decided that the
land is more important
to this town than any
building development.
Uh...
But we had a contract.
You signed and agreed
to the development plan.
Hmm.
This contract?
Yeah.
Feel free to consider
the contract terminated.
(ripping)
(crowd cheering and applauding)
You should expect a
cheque within a few days
for the amount raised today.
This isn't the end of this.
I'll get my development
one way or another.
You need houses.
I'll be back, you'll see!
Aaagh!
(loud thud)
(whimsical music)
Oh.
(grunts)
(growls)
(woman laughing from a far)
(panting)
Gaaaah!
(crowd laughing)
(whimsical music)
We did it!
(giggles) We did it!
There's not much to say.
Yeah!
(laughter)
Violet.
I have a feeling that
wherever they are,
your mum and dad would
be watching this.
I know.
I think I'm ready to
start school on Monday.
I mean next week.
I'll like to start
with Noah, and Lily.
If that's okay?
Of course.
Yes, we'll speak
to Mrs. Foster
and get everything arranged.
Come on.
(giggles)
Oh.
(breathes)
(whispering)
(music chiming)
(dramatic mystical music)
Thank you, everyone,
for coming to this momentous day
when we will be
officially opening
the new forest nature reserve.
(cheering and applauding)
Violet.
Can I invite you up to
cut our ceremonial ribbon?
That's it.
(birds chirping)
We now declare...
The forest nature reserve...
open.
(cheering and applauding)
Well done, Violet.
Excellent work.
Well done.
(cheering and applauding)
(melancholic music)
(distant chatter)
(howling)
(mystical music)
Can we go to the forest
again now that it's open?
This ceremony is boring.
Can we, Auntie Anika?
Okay, yes.
Sure.
(laughs)
Go have fun.
Make sure your home in
time for dinner, please.
We will be.
(laughter in the background)
(indistinct chatter)
You know, I still don't know
what they found in the forest.
(chuckle)
But whatever it is,
it must be special.
It was worth all this.
