In the wood for love.
In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands a majestic ginkgo tree. This silent witness has observed over a century the quiet rhythms of transformation across three human lives. At three distinct moments across the 20th and 21st centuries, these people — each carrying their own questions and inner struggles — inevitably find themselves drawn into the presence of this tree, full of mystery and meaning.

6What people say
me before seeing this movie: that is a big tree.me after seeing this movie: that is a giant, hormonal, unbearably horned up 900-year-old virgin that understands loneliness on a level that most humans could never even begin to imagine. (this is an intoxicating and wonderfully curious movie that seeds all sorts of rich ideas about the relative nature of our reality. i'll be talking about it with some very special guests after the screenings at the angelika this thursday night…)
wow????????I hope the guy next to me checking the stock market every 5 minutes dies poor and alone
