Tree Rhapsody

Tree Rhapsody is a story about the relationships between a young boy, a dog and a tree. The dog and the tree are childhood friends of the boy, loyal, caring and selfless. As the boy grows older, he requires a lot more than mere childhood friends. Striving for his “ideal” life, the boy abandons the dog and leaves the tree, consuming everything around him.

In dealing with the trees, the boy enters another world. The boy finally comes back safe thanks to the ultimate sacrifice of the tree and his best friend… The boy realises that the most important things in his life had always been around. The story conveys a message about being loyal, caring and selfless, the universal values for children, adult and elders.
