Beuys Boys sitting on high branches of an oak tree in the woods, then destroying and breaking young oak trees up into little pieces. At length the young warrior comes to rest, transported on a Native American sledge along a Tuscan country track.
First we see the boys on an oak tree in an idyllic setting.

Finally the young warrior comes to rest, transported on a Native American sledge along a Tuscan country track.
