Love story between a man living apart from society in a cabin in a mountain meadow and a younger woman living in the outside world but knowing the hidden trail to the meadow. Most scenes take place in the meadow allowing an examination of how a man and a woman might interact outside of society's rules of behavior. The man believes that a divine essence from God exists in the things of Nature. His view of the world is shaped by this belief in a holy essence in the world that becomes harder and harder to see as mankind reshapes God's created world into more and more a human created world.
