The Tree

2010, Movie, 1h 40min

The O'Neills lived happily in their house in the Australian countryside. That was until one day fate struck blindly, taking the life of Peter, the father, leaving his grief-stricken wife Dawn alone with their four children. Among them, eight-year-old Simone denies this reality. She is persuaded that her father still lives in the giant fig tree growing near their house and speaks to her through its leaves. But the tree becomes more and more invasive and threatens the house. It must be felled. Of course, Simone won't allow it.

En altopslugende tragedie, som vi ikke kan hele os fra, men er dømt til langsomt at forbløde fra.

Charlotte Gainsbourg är med sitt uttrycksfulla ansikte definitivt en skådespelerska att räkna med och precis som i Antichrist spelar hon här en kvinna som måste ta sig igenom en stor sorg.

After a tragic loss, a family struggles to cope with their new reality, and their young daughter, Simone, finds solace in the giant fig tree that stands tall next to their home. She believes that her father's spirit lives on in the tree, and as her imagination takes hold, her mother, Dawn, begins to believe it too. But as the tree's roots threaten their house, Dawn must make a difficult decision: should she allow the tree to be cut down, or will she risk everything to hold onto the connection to her husband and her daughter's fragile sense of security?
