Tree Story is a stop motion animation in which small clay figures come to life to embody thoughts on the origins and destiny of humans, and on life itself. Anthropomorphic figures and larval entities move across a neutral setting, inhabited only by minimal spatial details. Thus, the symbolic and metaphorical value of every element on the scene is stressed, evoking a sphere of meaning rather than telling a story. The uncertainty and vagueness of the events causes a feeling of anguish which is not oppressive, but rather deaf. The tree, a symbol of life and generative nature, here becomes the image of an abnormal and deformed vitality.
