A wooden god wakes up for the first time and decides everything it does matters because one dying person needed it to. The journey to the planet's heart becomes a meditation on what it means to exist for something beyond yourself. A film that trusts silence and stillness to do more work than dialogue ever could.

Palme is an android built from a mystical wood that is said to take in the memories of the civilizations where it grows. In a far-flung region of the planet Arcana, he is brought to life by Koram, an injured warrior of the Sol tribe. She hands him the mysterious Egg of the Roof and pleads with him to bring it to Tamas, a realm of legend. Finding a reason for his existence in her request, Palme agrees to carry the relic back to where it came from: the heart of the planet, which is under threat from a malevolent, destructive power. The film combines adventure, drama, fantasy and romance.
