DAS BLÜHENDE LEBEN

A LIFE IN BLOOM

(Germany, 2013) IMDb

Chopping down a tree in the woods, the widowed Fockebernd meets the uprooted and homeless "man-ivy" Woody. Together they are not as lonely, but Fockebernd soon realises that it is senseless to cling to a moment in time - as ivy clings to a tree.
