Every 12 months, families try to find the perfect Christmas tree. They decorate it with ornaments and lights and then, they marvel at it during the festive season only to throw away the same tree after some days of wonder. What a curious tradition, don’t you think?
An everyday object, only for a couple of days, transforms into a common symbol that facilitates beautiful social interactions. The film attempts to address the constructed absurdity of such without spoiling the magic around it. It is a Christmas story that both celebrates this time of the year and implicitly questions some of the established symbolism and behind-the-scenes realities such as Christmas tree farming.
