I Wish I Could Cry With Your Eyes

For generations, the entrance to the family home has been marked by a white-painted olive tree, a symbol of identity. Today, the filmmaker’s father and brother must cut it down so that their grandmother can move more easily in and out of the house. This event sparks a reflection on the grandmother’s grief following the grandfather’s death, as well as on the distance and tensions that arise between the filmmaker and his brother whenever he returns home. The short film unfolds as a filmed letter from one brother to another.
