At the end of the film the young man of twenty is now a man in his middle age. He visits the old man one more time two years before the old man dies. During that visit he views a pastoral landscape that also has rejuvenated the lives of the people who inhabit it. Abundance of life is everywhere. Children play happily in the meadows.
Families relax in the shade of the trees.
The film celebrates the determination and strength of will of one old man whose efforts of a lifetime provide a legacy for future generations.
