The Silent Warning

In the frozen silence of Antarctica, a single apple is left behind, forgotten under layers of snow as a blizzard rushes in. Fifty years later, after World War 3 scorches the Earth, a new research team in Antarctica uncovers the strange, preserved object buried in the ice. Debates ignite: Is it alien, biological, or a remnant of pre-war humanity? As tensions rise, a quiet veteran steps forward… and simply eats it. A symbolic tale of memory, loss, and climate negligence, The Forgotten Apple reminds us: We didn’t lose the planet all at once. We lost it one apple at a time. A heart-wrenching, thought-provoking short film on how the smallest things we ignore may become the loudest echoes of our past.
