A story of the love between a mother and a daughter and a timeless tree that links them both ...
After an elderly and celebrated painter Marguerite Carmen suffers an almost fatal stroke whilst trying to save an ancient fig tree, her mind leads her through the story of her tormented life. As she navigates through her memories from childhood abuse to profound and life-changing losses later in life, she believes that she and the tree she loves so much can reach out to her long-lost and presumed dead daughter Aurelia, victim of similar abuses.
Both a mea culpa and a desperate race against the clock to heal her guilt at having failed her beloved child, Marguerite paints for her life and that of her Aurelia before it is too late.
