An old tree stands in the middle of a botanical garden. It is lonely, like the other inhabitants of the garden – thousands of kilometers away from their original habitat, so that we can admire and observe them. As we observe them, they observe us. They are witnesses to our short, tangled, noisy and troubled lives. The film tells three stories, three hesitant encounters between man and plant, when these two radically different perceptions truly connect for a moment. Our human heroes, like the plants of the garden, are outsiders, lonely souls. And they yearn for connection just as they do.
