About This Program

The Tree of Truth is an episode‑length programme classified as a crime drama. It falls under the broader genre of television episodes and is presented as a self‑contained story within that format. The central narrative follows the discovery of a corpse that is later confirmed to be the woman who vanished seven years ago. This identification brings to light the unsettling prospect that a man who has maintained his innocence may have, in fact, confessed to a murder he did not commit. The plot hinges on the tension between the long‑ago disappearance and the present‑day confession, prompting questions about justice and mistaken guilt. As a crime drama, the episode concentrates on the investigative and legal ramifications of the case, focusing on how the newfound evidence reshapes the understanding of past events. It offers a concise exploration of how a single revelation can upend established narratives, leaving both the characters and the audience to reconsider what they thought they knew about the disappearance and the alleged confession.
