What Is The Tree About?

The premise of The Tree without spoilers.

The solitary apple tree on a rural ridge serves as a silent witness to a life’s cycles: we watch a boy grow, fall in love, go off to war, return home bearing his own son, and finally, as a weary elder, pay his last respects beneath its branches, having seen the world change around him.
