    • Synopsis

    • Once upon a time, there was a 210 years 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 little 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 in which nature is the only one to express itself.
