    • Trivia
      The title "Talking About Trees" is inspired by a poem by Bertolt Brecht which reads "What kind of times are these, when to talk about trees is almost a crime, because it implies silence about so many horrors?". These verses are quoted by Manar Al Hilo during the movie.

    A Beautiful Portrait Of Friendship and Hope

    'Talking about Trees' is a beautiful portrait of friendship and hope. With four light hearted protagonists who still maintain the gravity of their situation in a claustrophobic environment. To see them explore their expression in conversation and their pursuits is most inspiring to the rest to us. It only makes us, fellow filmmakers want to capture our own environment in its humblest, most honest form.
