The late Dr. Jane Goodall narrates the titular poem by E.E. Cummings, in which a man named "anyone" and a woman named "no one" develop a profound love connection within their bucolic but increasingly alienated community. The film features illustrations inspired by Cummings’ own impressionistic paintings, and its soundtrack is the final, acclaimed recording of the maestro Yakov Kreizberg.

The film had its World Premiere in October 2025 at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival in the historic Lucas Theatre, with Cartoon Brew calling it “a poignant meditation on love, mortality, and humanity’s bond to nature.” The film continues to travel the international film festival circuit.
