A middle-aged man uses a service provided by a company, which transforms people into trees. Each of the successive stages of preparation is being supervised by Doctor Buk and therapist Melisa, who select the tree species that suits him the best, as well as make sure that his motivation for such an act isn’t random nor unthoughtful. The film is a meditation over the fate of a human being, who takes a radical step to plunge into the world of nature, devoid of thoughts, obligations - into the world of pure being and existence.
