An eclectic collection of short narrative genre films.
A dystopean government, rather than imprisoning criminals or deporting immigrants, turns them into trees as part of an insidious environmental campaign.

On his journey he will encounter others affected by this regime whilst wrestling with the guilt he carries for his wife’s fate. Based on the short story by Yasutaka Tsutsui, author of Paprika and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
