About Under The Apple Tree

A measly little worm finds himself homeless, for all the apples are taken by other worms. He’s an outcast in the stormy night, until he discovers the biggest apple of them all. It’s vacant and it’s… mobile!

Meanwhile… An apple farmer, haunted by worms, commits suicide and is buried by his hated neighbor and brother, the priest. Worms inhabit the corpse and discover they have full control over it. The dead farmer awakens and keeps his brother very much awake at night.

Under The Apple Tree is an animated stop motion horror comedy about worms, apples and death. But also a film about family troubles. A film with a heart, although it might not be beating any more.
