Standing Woman

In a near-future Britain, the government has implemented a controversial program that transforms criminals and undocumented immigrants into trees, placing them on public display. The story follows a propaganda filmmaker who grapples with the moral implications of his work as he prepares for the transformation of his journalist wife, accused of crimes against the state.

This film serves as a grim cautionary tale that raises questions about ethics and societal norms. The narrative, based on a short story by Yasutaka Tsutsui, delves into themes of sacrifice and the consequences of extreme governance. With a unique premise and strong performances from Amy Blake, Andrew Dunn, and Joanne Mitchell, Standing Woman offers a distinctive cinematic experience that is relevant to contemporary discussions about justice and the environment.
