2:00pm, Movie by Ildikó Enyedi, 2h 27m Set in the botanical garden of a medieval town in Germany. Three epochs, three personalities, three sometimes clumsy but sincere attempts to free themselves and to create links with the plants and the world of the garden. An encounter. The film has spoken English and German with English subtitles
Silent Friend is a visually arresting, meditative drama directed by Ildikó Enyedi. It is an unclassifiable triptych told from the perspective of an ancient, centuries-old Ginkgo biloba tree in a German botanical garden. It examines the clumsy, poignant ways humans struggle to connect with nature and each other.
