“Tony Leung Chiu-wai plays a Hong Kong professor stranded at a German university during the COVID-19 lockdown. Lonely, stir crazy and 5,000 miles from home, our sad-eyed scientist becomes quite taken with a majestic gingko tree that towers over the school’s botanical garden. What follows is sort of like a buddy movie, told from the tree’s point of view.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 05/21/2026
