Under the Tree(2018)

Storyline

• Agnes throws Atli out and does not want him to see their daughter Ása anymore. He moves in with his parents, who are involved in a bitter dispute over their big and beautiful tree that casts a shadow on the neighbours' deck. As Atli fights for the right to see his daughter, the dispute with the neighbours intensifies - property is damaged, pets mysteriously go missing, security cameras are being installed and there is a rumor that the neighbor was seen with a chainsaw. — Ewa Bojanowska Against the backdrop of an ugly break-up, guilty-as-sin Atli swallows up his pride and moves back in with his retired parents, Inga and Baldvin. There, yet another nasty surprise awaits Atli, as his grizzled parents are locked in a bitter dispute with their neighbours, Konrad and Eybjorg, over a tree: a majestic, lofty platanus casting a thick shade on their garden. And, as Inga stubbornly refuses to trim the tree, more and more, their once-happy suburban life begins to spiral out of control. But, hate is a disease, and violence begets violence. Whatever happened to that old saying, "Love thy neighbour"? — Nick Riganas
