A Tree of Palme

In a setting of surrealism and visual beauty, Nakamura Takashi (Chief Animation Director, Akira, 1988) places a story that journeys into the complex realms of the human condition like no one else can. A Tree of Palme is a stunningly beautiful and ironic story of how the journey through life is never what it seems.When a mysterious woman gives Palme (an apathetic robot made from the sacred Kuroop tree) the Egg of Touto and charges him with a crusade which has put the fate of the world into his hands, a journey of rebirth and discovery unfolds.Chased by a mysterious group of mercenaries, Palme teams up with a band of misfits only to discover the complexity of the human condition and what it truly means "to be alive."
