The Tree's Home

나무의 집

Unclassified 18+

Dir. Hyemi Kim / 2023 / 12 mins / South Korea / No Dialogue / Drama, Animation / Australian Premiere

A striking allegory on the maternal instinct to sacrifice reminiscent of classic fairytales.

In this dialogue-free 2D animation, a lonesome hiker encounters a tree spirit who turns into a woman. When she first snaps off a finger to use as wood, he’s horrified. But soon he’s using her limbs for everything.
