Charisma

Set in a secluded forest clearing, the stage centers on a unique tree named Charisma. Competing groups argue over whether to poison the tree to restore the forest or protect it at the cost to the wider environment. The clearing becomes a volatile nexus where violence, politics, and ethics collide.

🌳 Nature vs Humanity

The film pits nature's integrity against human aims. The Charisma tree becomes a symbol of the forest's life and the cost of human intervention. Each faction treats the tree as either sacred, toxic, or valuable commodity, forcing Yabuike to weigh the living forest against individual lives.

⚖️ Moral Dilemma

Yabuike's hesitation to shoot and his eventual decision reveal the film's core suspense: there is no clean choice between saving a single tree or an entire forest. The dichotomy dissolves as life and death are shown as interwoven. The story suggests that ethics emerge from balancing competing loyalties and consequences.

🧭 Leadership & Choice

A single mediator, Yabuike, is thrust into a decision-making role. The characters try to steer events, but his judgments determine who lives, who dies, and what becomes of the forest. The film examines the burden of making hard calls under pressure, and whether leadership can reconcile conflicting aims.
