The Tree

After her husband's sudden death, Dawn (Charlotte Gainsbourg) - along with her four young children - struggles to make sense of life without him. Eight-year-old Simone becomes convinced that her father is whispering to her through the leaves of the enormous fig tree that towers over their house. The family is initially comforted by its presence, but gradually the tree's enormous roots begin to encroach on their lives. The Tree, directed by Julie Bertuccelli (Since Otar Left), is a mystical drama of loss and rebirth set against the gorgeous Australian countryside.
