Synopsis: ‘Where the Leaves Grow Green‘ is about what happens when we choose connection over assumption. It’s about sitting across from someone who doesn’t look like you, think like you, or come from the same background as you and recognizing their humanity. In a time when division often feels easier than understanding.
The film follows an immigrant father carrying the weight of responsibility while trying to provide for his family. While his circumstances are specific, his desire to be seen, understood, and valued is universal.
