Storyline

Once upon a time, there was a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), born in 1810, 210 years old and a pillar in its kingdom. This spectacular adventure features an extraordinary cast: squirrels, barnacles, jays, ants, field mice... This vibrant, whirring, marvelous little world seals its destiny around the majestic tree that welcomes them, feeds them and protects them from its roots to its crown. A poetic ode to life, in which nature alone expresses itself.

Heart of an Oak opts for simple observation to capture the magical workings of a vast ecosystem existing in a 210-year-old tree.

... you’re getting not just some random encounters of woodland creatures that happened to be captured on film, but the Platonic ideal of those encounters, perfectly photographed and edited for your viewing pleasure.

On one level, Heart of an Oak is the most spectacular nature film you are ever likely to see... [But] the upshot is a sanitised view of the natural world.
