Le Maître Sonneur

3 views

At the heart of a forest stands a tree bearing the scars left by humans on the flesh of wood and earth. It carries within itself the memory of the wounds of the forest that surrounds it. A young boy passes through, a botanist–draughtsman at heart. Drawn in by a mysterious song, he approaches, as if enchanted.The tree, mistaking his presence for that of destructive humans, offers him a mushroom — a fragment of its underground memory. The boy tastes it, and a hallucinatory journey unfolds, where the beauty and the buried suffering of these places intertwine.
