‘The Candy Tree’ is a simple story of a little kid who invests all his efforts in a sleeveless notion. The story is not only representative of his genuine belief in the notion; it also reveals in his unbridled desperate pursuit. In addition, it embodies a certain disregard for the maturity of an adult thought process. Metrophorically, the film is a representation of one’s belief in one’s idea. It exhibits how an honest idea is nurtured, and protected despite the arguments of it being futile. It craves to support nihilistic pursuits by supporting the idea of how every action has a reaction- in this case the end twist where the child’s attempts bear fruit in a different world. The pursuit in the film also supports the notion of ‘phal’ or fruit to one’s ‘Karma’ or duty as described in one of the verses in the Gita, which essentially puts forward the idea of being committed to duty and not being driven by the fruit. The end twist is a homage to a child’s naivety; the child in the other world is representative of the joy he derived in the process, while the adult is a representative of discontent and dissatisfaction- one who is unable to realize the fruit.
