France 2022, 80 min, No Dialogue, No Subtitles

Considered king of the forest, the oak symbolizes power and longevity.

Yet, it is little-known that the oak is also the busiest social network in Europe. It is both a shelter and a source of life that offers protection and hope.

Many families inhabit the oak like a home or an abode. They have taken up residence there and live together as in a proper society: problems with the neighbors, education, survival, solidarity, etc.
Heart of Oak is more than a documentary: It is a real, nature and wildlife opera.

Drawing us into the rhythm of this mythic tree’s heart, the film will immerse us in this source of life from various species’ points of view.
