The Tree

France, Australia 2010 | 101 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

After the sudden loss of her father, 8-year-old Simone shares a secret with her mother Dawn: her father whispers to her through the leaves of the magnificent tree. Simone is convinced that he’s come back to protect her family and takes comfort in the reassuring tree. But the new bond between mother and daughter is threatened when Dawn starts dating George. Simone moves into the tree house and refuses to come down. The Tree is a lucid, deeply poetic and arresting drama of loss and rebirth.
