SYNOPSIS

The following is a summary of the story or the storyteller. A storyteller starts to define one girl's character and acting by
having the camera focus on her, and this story begins about the girl. The girl draws water everyday for a man who is
becoming a tree. She dreams of lice with him, but his dream is to be a real tree.
One bird controls her, and helps him. All of them live together in the same house. The storyteller tells their story in quiet
tones; things the girl wants, the life the man wants to live, and the jealousy of the bird.
One fine day, the man changes his body to a tree, perfectly. She and the bird plant him in the woods, and then he does not
need her help anymore.

DIRECTING INTENTION

I am very shy to write this; when I wanted to make every film, I have had to release something from my heart since the first
film I made. At that time I began this project, I had no idea what this film would be about. I was haunted by an image of
man who is becoming a tree, a bird, and a girl. I was thinking about what I wanted, and I created a plot of . Finally I could escape from the images when I finished film.
This story is about the three characters who were haunting me, and I hoped that the fir whom I loved could be happy.
