Um....I have a question.....Why is somebody turning into a tree?

It's like the only thing I don't get....I've watched this like......many times...lol

[2QT2BST]

its from once on this island where at the end the main character ti moune becomes a tree after dying and its touching due to what happens throughout and what trees mean to the story.

[BubblewrappedHeart]

[LaurenS419]
