Plot
One of three films commissioned by the Jeonju International Film Festival in 2005. A couple escaped their family to look for a spiritual tree in the jungle.
Sinekatalog’s take
A couple runs away from their families to search for a spiritual tree in the jungle. Apichatpong's dreamy short feels hushed and mysterious, a fit for viewers who like contemplative, nature-soaked cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
