When the Tree… (2011)

Synopsis: In the chaotic atmosphere of a city, people run, homeless and fearful, eyes closed and scattered in different corners. In the midst of all this, a man and a woman are running; panic stricken, they come face to face. Upon their meeting, the city atmosphere disappears and sounds die down. The man and woman approach each other with zeal and skepticism, when all of a sudden an apple tree appears in their midst. The presence of the tree draws the couples’ attention to themselves, creating for them a setting, not unlike that of Adam and eve.
