Description:

The O'Neill family resides in a tranquil Australian countryside dwelling after losing their patriarch, Peter, in an unfortunate accident. Struggling to cope with her husband's sudden absence, Dawn finds solace in the support of her four children. However, eight-year-old Simone refuses to accept the harsh reality and believes that her father continues to live within the towering fig tree near their home. She claims he communicates with her through its rustling leaves.As the massive fig tree's roots spread dangerously close to the family house, it becomes necessary for them to cut it down. Nevertheless, Simone adamantly opposes this decision, believing she is still in touch with her father through the tree. The film delves into themes of grief, innocence, and the power of imagination while exploring the intricate dynamics within a loving yet mourning family.
