Countries United States
Duration 9 min
Synopsis
The world’s shortest short story takes a detour to a place where time is a forking path of possibilities leading to the same eventuality – the past. A place where it was possible to vanish among family and friends and where the places and things of everyday life may also take on horrific features and meanings. Tree of Forgetting is a place where a poet laureate may aspire to become an inspector of chickens and where many live in a state of exile. Here you forget not to remember those things others wish to forget.
