Considered the king of the forest, the oak symbolizes power and longevity: it is the tallest and most majestic tree in the forests of our Northern Hemisphere. Directors Laurent Charbonnier and Michel Seydoux followed for one year the many families who inhabit a gigantic oak like a home, living together as in a proper society, with problems with the neighbors, education, solidarity and survival.
