Synopsis
Human are the species with the strongest colonizing longing of our planet. We occupy, dissect, transform, invent and observe.
Nevertheless, we are barely able to access a fraction of the reality of the world that we crave. We are a plague that has lost the ability to understand the nature we desire and consume. Un arbre és un arbre is a film where the spectator is the object while a syntetic voice warns us that what we are looking at explain us better that the images that represent us.
