A most ludicrous exercise in vanity
Mesmerising scenery of forced migration.
In this case we have trees! They are core to ones family history and beautiful garden accessory for others. In this tale of true story taking place in the country of Georgia, film takes us through the journey of migration of trees with instantly complex operations involving local workers and sea transportation. Sad impact left behind showing diverse regions and opinions on the matter of forceful migration due to rich and powerful's decision. Music is stunning, scenery and photography is outstanding. True art documentary that is not for people with attention deficit disorder.
