Thneedville er ren og pæn og har alt, hvad man kan ønske sig. Så længe man ikke ønsker sig frisk luft eller fri natur. Men frisk luft kan man købe på flaske, og fri natur er der ingen, der drømmer om… undtagen Audrey. Fordi Ted er forelsket i Audrey drager han ud for at finde et ægte levende træ, så han måske kan vinde sig et kys. Ted forlader Thneedvilles trygge, rene rammer og begiver sig ud i det mærkelige tusmørkeland uden for bygrænsen – golde, afskovede skråninger, hvor den eneste beboer i et faldefærdigt hus er Onceler. Men inden Onceler vil fortælle, hvordan træerne kan komme tilbage, må Ted høre mange mærkelige historier, blandt andre en om Lorax, skovens beskytter, et vrissent men dog alligevel charmerende væsen, som kæmper for at beskytte sin omverden.

A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set. Ozu weaves a wealth of subtle gags through a family portrait as rich as those of his dramatic films, mocking the foibles of the adult world through the eyes of his child protagonists. Shot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic I Was Born, But . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.
