In the movie The Tree, after the tragic death of Peter O'Neill, the family learns to cope with their loss in different ways. Dawn, the mother, struggles to manage her grief while trying to provide for her children: Simone, Lou, Charlie, and Tim. While the family goes through their own internal struggles, Simone finds solace and comfort in the belief that her father's spirit resides in the fig tree near their house.

Simone starts having regular conversations with her father's imagined presence in the tree. She believes that he speaks to her through the rustling leaves and that he watches over the family from his perch in the tree. The tree serves as a source of emotional support for Simone in dealing with her father's absence, acting as a companion who understands her grief.

However, as time passes, the fig tree grows larger and becomes increasingly invasive. Its roots start damaging the foundation of the house, leading to structural concerns. The family realizes that the tree must be cut down to protect their home. But Simone strongly opposes this idea, as for her, cutting down the tree would mean severing the last remaining connection to her father.

Simone becomes stubborn and begins to isolate herself from her family, often spending most of her time in or around the tree. She refuses to accept her father's death and clings to his memory, even though the rest of the family starts moving on in their own ways. This creates tension within the family, as they struggle to balance protecting their home with respecting Simone's emotional attachment to the tree.

As the conflict escalates, Simone's unwavering determination and belief in her father's presence become a catalyst for the family's emotional healing. Through Simone's resilience, the family members gradually come to terms with their loss and find strength in their shared memories of Peter.

The Tree explores themes of grief, resilience, and the complexities of coping with loss. It showcases the different ways individuals within a family can grieve and how they eventually find their own paths to healing. The movie also raises questions about the boundaries between imagination and reality and the importance of holding on to cherished memories.
