Contents/Summary
- Summary
- A tree plays an important role in the lives of five characters in Israel-Palestine: A source of income, part of the native landscape, a consumer product and a nuisance to be removed. Attitudes to trees and the range of significances assigned to them constitute a mirror reflecting human society. The film captures the collective unconscious of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a patient observation at nature. Vegetative Love visually incarnates the famous poem by one of the great Hebrew poets, Shaul Tchernichovsky who wrote in 1923: "Man is but a small piece of land / Man is but an image of his homeland's landscape".
