Resto de Papel

An invitation to see the impact of deforestation through the eyes of nature itself.

SYNOPSIS

In Resto de Papel, a majestic thousand-year-old tree narrates centuries of stories and memories as it watches the relentless destruction of the forests by human advance. With a visceral score and vertical framing, the short invites us to reflect on the impact of deforestation and nature's silent struggle to survive.
