Lucie Sunková’s short film The Tree is a metaphorical story about the parallels in lives of people and trees, a lyrical poem about birth and death, about the flow of our time and the nature surrounding us, a parable about parenthood and crossing the boundaries of a human (not only) life. It is a story about relations, seeming hopelessness and a happy promise. Used paint-on-glass technique, a pure poetic means of expression ideal for a story like this, forms another metaphoric layer of the film withs its laboriousness and graphic style.

The film tells the story of a poor painter in need. He is pursued by his landlady demanding the rent and also a strange dream about a painting come-to-life that can save him.

Lucie Sunková chose an unusual and very laborious technology of animation on glass for her graduation film. The well-known poem by Edgar Allan Poe became the starting point for a small, sad story of one night.
