Synopsis
EXT. DAY. MONTREAL / On the outskirts of the metropolitan highway, a Mediterranean fig tree stands. / Said Ficus carica, this tree is the work of a 60-year-old Montrealer of Argentine origin. / The miracle of a backyard where three regions of the world meet. / The story of an observation.
A word from Tënk
This is the story of a gaze. It is a human gaze upon a miracle. It is the story of an observation of a curious person of nature, overwhelmed sometimes - often? - by the beauty of the world. It is a young fig tree that resists, at the confluence of migratory routes. It is a declaration of love crossed, bathed by the power of the moon, the obstinate restart of the living. It's a man who slowly approaches a mystery to try to see it more closely. And he makes a gesture of cinema, sincere and pure, which humbly touches the center.
