From the team who made the 2010 Oscar-shortlisted Even the Rain (Madrid-born director Icíar Bollain and Scottish screenwriter and regular Ken Loach collaborator, Paul Laverty). The Olive Tree follows a determined young farmer (Anna Castillo) as she sets out across Europe to reclaim her grandfather’s beloved two thousand year old olive tree from the German company who bought it 12 years ago. A touching and emotional story of family, friendship and resilience.
