Apple Tree
is a tragic, poetic tale of longing, love, and ruin. It follows Salene, a girl who spends her life chasing the cold, celestial Aurelian-believing he is the embodiment of perfection. Blinded by desire, she sacrifices everything for his fleeting attention, only to be hollowed out and discarded.
It is Vesper, the quiet, constant presence, who truly sees and loves her.
Their love blooms-brief, bright, and defiant-beneath an apple tree they plant together, symbolizing a love rooted in truth. But Aurelian, driven by spite and possessiveness, murders Vesper.
Overwhelmed by rage and heartbreak, Salene kills Aurelian in a brutal act of vengeance.
Yet with Vesper gone, she cannot bear the silence. In the end, she takes her life beside the man she truly loved, beneath the tree that held their dreams. Their story ends in blood and sorrow, yet their love lives on in the roots of the apple tree.
