EL ÁRBOL

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 by their house. Simone is convinced that he’s come back to protect her family.

This family drama is an incisive look at the complicated ways in which we cope with the loss of a loved one, and the moment in childhood wherein one first encounters mortality. With the always sensitive Charlotte Gainsbourg as the central matriarch, and a stellar turn from newcomer Morgana Davies.
