Without forests, we could not survive. But trees are not only our allies in the fight against climate change and species extinction, they are also fascinating creatures with their own language. This documentary follows researchers who have made it their mission to learn to understand the language of trees. Biologists, foresters, landscape architects and ecologists talk about their work, their mission and their importance for climate and species protection – and ultimately for all of us. What drives these guardians of the forest? What connects them, and how do they react when they hear the trees’ cries for help?
