Synopsis

A tree stands tall in Ukraine, recognized as one of the fifteen winners of the National Trees of Ukraine competition. The film questions the human perspective on nature and considers the subjectivity of trees. It examines how trees are represented in legislation, journalism, and poetry. Through these lenses, the documentary invites reflection on the radical otherness of trees and their significance in human culture. The runtime is 24 minutes, released in 2018.
