​
A street photographer is the first who sees in a dreamy, fuddled vision the creature by the side of a river at the outskirts of the city, starting him on an obsessive journey. This would enchain a series of events bringing the city into turmoil and change his own life.
​
This speculative thriller deals with the changes that took place after the 1991 uprising in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, in which a new generation was forced to watch their society transform without a voice. Like the Tree-Man, they were condemned to silence.
