The Forest investigates the story of Israel’s largest human-made forest, set in the vast desert, on the borderline with the Palestinian West Bank. We meet a collage of colourful characters of both Jews and Arabs who live in the forest, work to maintain it, irrigate it or being expelled from their lands to make way for its ever-expanding plots. The film questions the Israeli national endeavour to maintain, rebuild and expand a forest of 4 million trees in a place where they could never survive.
