About The Birch
The 15-episode TV series is based on the short film known as ‘The Birch’- is written and directed from several different perspectives. But all have something in common; their lives are ineradicably marked by the titular character.

It tells the cynical relationship between a monster protector that lives in the woods while a naïve and pure-hearted teenager summons the monster in time of need.

The monster is actually a tall humanoid with a body made of birch wood. It has no legs instead of branches that are like long fingers. And a crown of wood on her head too.

When the teenager summons her, she takes the role of his guardian angel and protects him from bullies and takes care of him.
