Olive Tree, The (12)

Comedy, Drama

A girl, her uncle and a friend start an emotional travel to recover a family tree.

The search for the tree and what it has come to symbolise lies at the heart of this amusing and very human story of a family at war.

A young woman decides to rescue her grandfather’s olive tree, sold to a German company as a green symbol, in Icíar Bollaín’s low-key, heartfelt film.

Paul Laverty’s quixotic road movie about a young woman on a mission to steal a tree stretches credulity and patience.
