A French-Australian 2010 film co-produced between Australia and France.
Dawn and Peter O’Neil live together with their children (three boys and a girl), on the outskirts of a small country town. Next to their rambling house stands the kids’ favourite playground: a giant Fig tree. Everything seems perfect until Peter suffers a heart attack, crashing his car into the tree’s trunk. Dawn is devastated, left alone with her grief and four children to raise. Until one day, 8-year-old Simone, reveals a secret to her mother. She’s convinced her father whispers to her through the leaves of the tree and he’s come back to protect them. Dawn takes comfort from Simone’s imagination, and starts to believe in it herself; just like Simone, Dawn also likes to spend time in the tree.
