A B O U T
"Passionate about the idea of flying, Papaya is a tiny seed in a world governed by laws of nature with sprinkles of fantasy. She struggles to conform to expectations because her curiosity and an uncontrollable desire for freedom make her different from other seeds. When she realises that her destiny is to become a tree, she rebels. Fighting against her own nature, Papaya tries to stay in constant motion to avoid rooting." - Berlinale
