Rootless

In a world where nature has been ravaged, 17-year-old Banyan possesses a unique talent—he builds trees. Utilizing scrap metal and discarded materials, he transforms remnants of the past into vibrant, fantastical forests. These imaginative creations are not just art; they serve as a refuge for those who have lost their connection to the natural world. Despite his remarkable skills, Banyan feels alienated, caught between his passion for creating and his longing for acceptance.

When an enigmatic girl enters his life, Banyan's carefully constructed realities shift. She brings new perspectives and challenges him to confront not only his craft but also his deepest fears and desires. As their bond grows, Banyan must navigate the complexities of love, identity, and the importance of environmental stewardship. In a society that has forgotten the beauty of nature, his journey becomes a testament to hope and resilience—both for himself and the world he seeks to heal.
