Shot on location in Big Pine, California, the closest settlement to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, where the oldest trees in the world cling to the high slopes of the White Mountains. The film charts the artist’s journey around the town, in an attempt to discover whether living alongside such ancient, slow growing trees affects the pace that one lives one’s life.
