Strange Fruit is a sophisticated animated allegory that uses surrealism to examine the psychological architecture of prejudice. It moves beyond the mechanics of violence to explore how cultural environments shape individual morality. The film succeeds in its deconstruction of 'the other,' providing a significant role in driving the story to non-Western characters. By framing racial prejudice as a learned epidemic, it challenges viewers to confront the fragility of communal peace.

Official Synopsis
The peaceful daily routine of father and son is interrupted by an encounter of an unfamiliar boy, different from them in color. An allegory to the phenomena of racism as an acquired cultural epidemic, the story discusses the question of the personal conscience of each of us, versus the education we receive from our families and environment. Can we really insist on our personal belief system, when what we must believe in, is dictated to us? The film presents how easily we acquire fear and hatred of foreigners, as well as how easily we might become the "strangers" and "others" ourselves.
