[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
A Tree of Palme is an interpretation of the Pinocchio tale. It concerns a small puppet, Palme, who was tasked by his creator to look over his ailing wife. After her passing, Palme encounters a woman who resembles the late wife so much that Palme believes them to be the same person. Shaken out of his sadness, Palme accepts her request to deliver something special to a far-off place known as Tama. This sets Palme off on a journey to discover his own emotions, and what it truly means to be human.
