Mr. Tree

Shu, a village layabout, drifts through life as the butt of local jokes, his mind a fragile landscape where reality and hallucination bleed into one another. Haunted by spectral memories and familial trauma, he clings to the margins of a community that views him with pitying contempt. A startling turn arrives when one of his feverish visions materializes, transforming him overnight from a laughingstock into a revered clairvoyant. As villagers flock to him for prophecies, Shu navigates this sudden, bewildering power, a role that offers belonging but threatens to sever his last tether to a tangible world.
