"the fir tree" -- inspired by hans christian anderson's fairytale, this remarkable danish film tells
the story of a christmas tree from a most unusual angle - through the 'voice' of the tree itself. the
tree has big ambitions, doing everything it can to grow so tall that it reaches the sky. featuring
extraordinary photography, the film follows the adventures of its life from sapling to maturity,
culminating in a triumphal christmas day. along the way, viewers experience the natural - and
human - world from a strangely moving perspective.
