The Planting of Trees

A young boy, Lindi, a final-year student, is arrested on charges of propaganda of decadent literature and failure to report attempted escape. Lindi lives alone with his mother, a primary school teacher, who, after the arrest of her son, takes the bed. In the investigation, Lindi admits to reading the banned book, without telling who gave it to him ("I found it on a desk ..."), and for the accusation of attempted escape, he does not accept it, as among other things "how can he?" to abandon the mother he loves so much.
