SYNOPSIS

Once upon a time, there was a 210-year-old oak that had become a pillar in its kingdom.

This spectacular adventure movie brings together an out of the ordinary cast: squirrels, nut weevils, jays, ants, field mice... All this vibrant, buzzing, and marvelous universe entrusts the majestic tree, from its roots to its top, with its food, shelter, and protection.

A poetic ode to life where nature is the only one to express itself.
