Description
The Private Lives of Trees tells the story of a single night: a young professor of literature named Julian is reading to his step-daughter Daniela and nervously waiting for his wife Veronica to return from her art class. Each night, Julian has been improvising a story about trees to tell Daniela before she goes to sleep, and each Sunday he works on a novel about a man tending to his bonsai, but something about this night is different. As Julian becomes increasing concerned that Veronica won't return, he reflects on their life together in minute detail, and imagines what Daniela at twenty, at twenty-five, at thirty years old, without a mother will think of his novel.
