Retired Colonel Sebastiano Procolo, a man who never smiles, inherits a house and a plot of forest in the mountains. However, most of the property is inherited by the colonel's nephew, twelve-year-old Benvenuto, an orphan living in a boarding school.

The Old Forest is a magical place: spirits that can take the form of humans or animals live in the trunks of the century-old fir trees. Therefore, no one has ever dared to cut down these trees. But the colonel doesn't believe in silly legends and decides to establish his own order in the Old Forest, dealing with his nephew in the process...

The whimsical and elegant "The Riddle of the Old Forest," with its light and sad tone, at first glance belongs to the genre of a literary fairy tale for adults. However, behind this simple imitation of a folk legend lies a profound parable about the destructiveness of the conflict between man and nature.
