Mr Apple revolves around 10-year old Genie, who experiences the death of her mentor and best friend, Mummy. Before passing away, Mummy picks the last apple from the family's aging apple tree, endowing it with a face and the name 'Mr. Apple.’. This becomes Genie's cherished connection to her departed mother. Genie's father struggles to comprehend the significance of the apple, leading to a journey of understanding and redemption for both of them. This is a personal, yet imaginative tale, with a heartwarming message for any child or surviving parent who is feeling lost, confused and left behind when a parent / partner dies. The parable of Mr. Apple teaches us how we are all connected in the circle of life; that life goes on, that the departed live on in within us.
This is Mr. Apple's positive message of hope.
