A Tree of Palme
Directed by Takashi Nakamura
Produced by GENCO, Palm Studio
A melancholic, philosophical reimagining of Pinocchio that traces a puppet's journey toward emotional awakening and humanity through loss, mystery, and self-discovery.
A Tree of Palme is an interpretation of the Pinocchio tale. It concerns a small puppet, Palme, who was tasked by his creator to look over his ailing wife, Xian. After her passing, Palme is visited by a mysterious woman who he mistakenly believes to be Xian. Shaken out of his sadness, Palme accepts her request to deliver something special to a far-off place known as Tama. This sets Palme off on a journey to discover his own emotions, and what it truly means to be human.
