Trees are an indispensable part of our planet. They have existed for about 370 million years, and we still have much to learn. The latest research uncovers their fascinating secrets. We often take trees for granted and, perhaps, ponder how they actually function. Research over the last few years has shown the amazing abilities of trees which call to mind superpowers or intelligence. As scientists begin to understand the scope of the meaning of trees for the function of the planet, the need and efforts to protect them increase. Trees might be superheroes but are not immortal.

English French director Emmanuelle Nobécourt brings viewers a truly fascinating documentary that raises awareness of the importance of trees for humans and other organisms. Although this is a very alarming picture, it does give some hope that if humanity quickly finds its lost respect and humility for nature and starts to behave accordingly, its days on the blue planet are not yet numbered.
