In a botanical garden, a tree watches and observes, patient witness of centuries. In 1908, he follows Grete, who struggles to exist in an environment that ignores her. In the 70s, he sees Hannes awakening to love and the world of plants. Today the old tree speaks with Tony in his secret language. Around him, some seek each other, others meet. He dwells, silent friend, in a time vaster than theirs.
In partnership with the Cinémathèque française and echoing the retrospective dedicated to Ildikó Enyedi.
Session presented by Emilie Cauquy, project manager of the HENRI platform and responsible for promoting the film collection at the Cinémathèque française.
