Original title: Stille Freundin
In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands an ancient ginkgo tree. From 1908 to 2020, this tree has stood as a silent witness to limitless things, including how nature has profoundly impacted three human lives. Through this point-of-view, we see their stories – each one of them deeply rooted in their own present, as they are transformed by the quiet, enduring, and mysterious power of nature. A fascinating exploration of how humans exist as part of a larger world of life on Earth.
