Viewing Notes
The second of these to prominently feature a tree as part of the plot. This one is more mystery than the others and nicely told through flashbacks while reading letters that are unearthed by a man who is cataloguing a library’s collection. The falling scenes are so weirdly great! I can’t explain them, you just have to watch!
