THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES documentary movie trailer - Plot synopsis: Are trees able to talk?
Do they have a memory and a social life?
The forester and bestselling author Peter Wohlleben gets to the bottom of these questions and opens our eyes to the hidden world of the woods.
The whole world is talking about the environment, but frequently fails to listen to nature itself.
One man has made it his mission to change this and has promptly reached millions of people.
In his non-fiction bestseller “The Hidden Life of Trees”, which has been published in over 40 countries and often appeared in the Top Ten listings, Peter Wohlleben opens our eyes to the hidden world of the forest and the "Wood Wide Web".
Director Jörg Adolph ("Parents' School") combines the exciting portrait of a man who understands the language of trees with breathtaking nature footage from the world of forests to create a documentary which is just as entertaining as it is fascinating.
When Peter Wohlleben published his book “The Hidden Life of Trees” in 2015, he stormed all the bestseller charts overnight: no-one had ever written about the German woods like the forester from the parish of Wershofen before.
Wohlleben tells us in an entertaining and enlightening fashion about the solidarity and cohesion of the trees and strikes a chord with his ever-growing community of readers: he brings us closer to these astounding living entities in guided tours of the woods and readings.
Wohlleben travels to Sweden to see the oldest tree in the world; he visits businesses in Vancouver that are looking for a new approach to how to treat the woods; he sides with the demonstrators in the Hambacher Forst.
Because he knows that we humans can only survive if the woods are healthy – and that the eleventh hour is already upon us….
