Are trees able to talk? Do they have a memory and a social life? The forester and bestselling author Peter Wohlleben gets to the bottom of these questions and opens our eyes to the hidden world of the woods.

The whole world is talking about the environment, but frequently fails to listen to nature itself. One man has made it his mission to change this and has promptly reached millions of people. In his non-fiction bestseller "The Hidden Life of Trees", which has been published in over 40 countries and often appeared in the Top Ten listings, Peter Wohlleben opens our eyes to the hidden world of the forest and the "Wood Wide Web".

Director Jörg Adolph ("Parents’ School") combines the exciting portrait of a man who understands the language of trees with breathtaking nature footage from the world of forests to create a documentary which is just as entertaining as it is fascinating.
