THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO HUG. BUT THEY HUG ANYWAY.
In a damp, fog-soaked wetland, John wanders through loneliness carrying a quiet longing for connection. There he meets a fragile small tree, equally awkward, equally alone. Neither knows how to hug. What begins as an innocent attempt at connection gradually unfolds into a relationship of desire, unbearable attachment, and self-erasure.
