Silent Friend is a German-French-Hungarian co-production supported by Hungary's National Film Institute. The film, which won six awards at the Venice Film Festival, explores themes of nature, communication, and human connection through three stories set in a botanical garden in Marburg, Germany. Directed by Ildikó Enyedi, the film features Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, who prepared for his role with minimal guidance. The film's central figure is an old tree that has observed life for nearly two centuries. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
