Found by the Treeside (2021) - full transcript

They say we have all the time in the world

This I presume to be a lie

Time is put a mean to a lonely end

They said once more a love in love

will last for eternity

Now that I imagine is the truth

[Music]

But what can truth
truly be without a lie

A lie bestows meaning upon an honesty,

the truth found by the tree side

Once more they told us to hold on



once more they begged us to remain

strong

for those of whom we love

Never forget they said

Think one more minute

then one more hour, one more day

and thus it continues

Never forget they begged

once more a love in love

found by the tree side

[Music]

[Music]

Dear Cassandra,

I've met a boy

He's very special.

Every day we meet each other
to go for a walk

and once one of us walks the other home.

We don't talk again until the next day

[Music]

It's almost like our connection is

completely personal, completely private

[Music]

We don't text, we don't call

but every single day he's waiting
outside my door

When we are together

it's almost like the whole world stands still.

I'm walking and he's with me

and in that moment

I'm in complete harmony

For the last seven months

it has been my favorite part of the day.

He makes me feel

euphoric.

- Charlie, I've got something for you

- You do?

- Yeah. Close your eyes

Close your eyes

[Music]

Open your eyes

- What is it?

- It's a triangle.

People say that

shows us the path where our potential place is,

it's straightforward, by other words
it takes back to you

- I don't know what to say.

- Don't say anything,
just wear it

- Can you...?
- Yeah

[Music]

- Thank

I think...

- Oh, I know

[Music]

- Thank you for today
- No problem

I'll see you tomorrow

- Oh, do you want your jacket?

- No, keep it

[Music]

- Just now I feel why
would I do that to you, dad?

- I don't know who told you,
but it's not true

I didn't kiss any boy, dad

I've learned my lesson after
the last time, I promise

Dad don't... no please...

because I started a lot better
in this apartment

please don't make me come home

dad, yes sorry... I'm sorry sir

[Music]

I'm yours, Charlie

[Music]

- Where are you Mark?

[Music]

- Hey

- Hey

- Where did you go?

- Hmm... I'm sorry chum,
so so sorry Charlie

- Why did you...?

I just don't understand.

- I can't have this

- What that means?

- I can't have this happiness I would like

My father he... it's not up to me

- My father is super strict in my studying stuff,

it would be dumb for him stopping me
of being happy

- Now stop it, you don't understand

A year ago

there was this boy, his name was Ben.

We went to school together

He was my best friend.

One day we were in the backyard

when he started to...to...

act different

- Different?

- Yeah. He started holding my hand

like and I liked it...a lot

and out of nowhere

he kissed me.
- Oh!

- But my father saw it,
he then went home and...

he... hurted me...a lot.

- Hurted you?

- My father loves baseball,

he has...

a steel baseball bat and...well...

- Oh my god!

- I know I didn't tell it before

because

our time together it was...ours.

It shouldn't be affected by my past, but

now...

- And now what Mark?

- He knows, someone told him

- Who? How?

- I don't know, maybe some neighbours

but it doesn't matter.

He's making me leave, Charlie

- What? I mean can you not stay?

Is there really no way to get around this?

- Charlie...

-Mark, no... please...

please, I don't want to lose this

[Music]

- Watch your triangle

[Music]

- I'll be back

[Music]

- I think

I don't know how to say it...

- I don't know...saying it back

[Music]

- Charlie, I'm gonna find you

- How?

- Trust me

[Music]

[Music]

- I love you

[Music]

[Music]

- Hi
- Hi

- I didn't think you'd be here

- Yeah, but...here I am

- Do you come here often?

- At least once a month

- Why?

- I guess I was hoping I'd find you

- I promised to you I will find you

- What about your family?

- I spoke to them, but

I don't think they'll understand

A house where to start to live on my life

- Yeah
