“At The Tree Line” is a fable- like short depicting a woman brought to the edge of her sanity when isolated in the harsh landscape of her abandoned family home. The film enters in a timeless yet dream- like space, where the hints aren’t strong enough for the dreamer to realize she is dreaming.
Without food or any contact to the outside world, jolting fissures in Tess’s perception of the home begin to reveal what appears to be an unnerving family history. These clues expose a past that is totally untranslatable, yet one that inform her sense of self and surroundings. We are asked to walk with Tess through this symbolic space that exists only to reveal this psychology.
