Plot summary

Once upon a time, there was a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), born in 1810, 210 years old and a pillar in its kingdom. This spectacular adventure features an extraordinary cast: squirrels, barnacles, jays, ants, field mice... This vibrant, whirring, marvelous little world seals its destiny around the majestic tree that welcomes them, feeds them and protects them from its roots to its crown. A poetic ode to life, in which nature alone expresses itself.

Beautiful, immersive film

Wordless French documentary essentially following a year through the seasons for a two hundred year old oak tree, and all the life that happens on it, from birds and squirrels and insects in its branches to wood mice living in its roots and fungi below the earth, to deer, coypu and boars around it. Great use of sound (breeze through leaves of a tree has to be one of the nicest sounds in the world), this is one to see on the big screen so you can immerse yourself into it. Introduction at the Edinburgh International Film Festival noted that it has been a huge hit in France, accounting for half a million tickets.

Wonderful!

I thought this film was the best thing I had seen for a long time, having seen it at The Watershed in Bristol. I love nature in all its forms and I was mesmerised by the life in the oak tree, by the variety of animals, insects, birds, even a snake climbing up the tree. I commend the amazing filming and editing that must have taken place, by the patience of all the crew over a year and a half, and by the fantastic diversity of life that exists in nature. I particularly love Jays, and I was astonished at the Acorn Weevils, never having heard of them before, but everything was just wonderful. Thank you for this film; I cannot recommend it enough, and I do hope that I can get to see it again some day.
