Tree Stories (2015)
Season 1
The trees that are featured across Europe - from Greece to Sweden - stand as references to time, witnesses of collective life and sources of spirituality. Others represent, quite simply, aesthetic encounters. From the ends of their roots to the tips of their crowns, ten trees recount stories and converse among themselves, in this beautiful blending of nature and culture.

S1E5 - The Gods of Nature
Despite their obvious differences, what characterises and links these two trees most is the human attachment to them. Friars live beside the Italian Cypress tree, perpetuating the legend linked to it and to Saint Francis of Assisi. For the Upmeyer Oak, which bears the name of its benefactors, the same family has been looking after it down through the generations.
