Un día la esposa sugiere que quiere cortar el árbol del jardín, al principio su petición parece casual, más bien un deseo algo obstinado, pero no pierde ocasión para preguntarlo una y otra vez. Al marido le encanta el árbol, aunque tiene en cuenta su deseo, se toma demasiado tiempo para decidir, perdiendo la única oportunidad de entender lo que su mujer estaba intentando decirle.

MÁRTON VÉCSEI (Lengyeltóti HUNGARY 12-04-1973) is an established director based in Budapest. Even though he first graduated from the Hungarian Fine Art Academy as painter, then from the Hungarian Film Academy as director, he’s attracted by purity and simplicity when approaching a story. He’s been eager to develop his professional skills outside of his country: after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, Marseille he moved to Transylvania for two years to work on a documentary, then he was living in Amsterdam while attending the BINGER Writers Lab. In the past decade he was actively working in both the fiction and the documentary genres, that brought him to a number of A-list film festivals. For instance his short Werewolf (2007) was in competition in Sarajevo and Warsaw, while he also released his 1st feature, the very provocative and dividing work of art, Diamond Club. He also works as a commissioned director for HBO Hungary and directs TV spots regularly. This allows him to work with the latest industrial technology and to keep the balance between his focused story driven attitude and his artistic, experimenting auteur self.
