From Ildikó Enyedi, the director of Academy Award-nominated On Body and Soul, comes an epic, awe-inspiring exploration of the natural world. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love), Léa Seydoux (Blue Is the Warmest Colour) and Venice Prize-winning newcomer Luna Wedler, Enyedi crafts a thoughtful meditation on the essential question of what it means to be human.
At the heart of a German university grows a majestic ginkgo tree, its lifespan measured in centuries. Bearing witness to the lives of three generations of people, the tree watches as each is transformed by the quiet, enduring, and mysterious power of nature.
