Acclaimed director Marina Willer, known for “Cartas da Mãe,” crafts a visually striking essay that follows her father’s family’s escape as one of the few Jewish families to endure the Nazi regime in Prague during World War II. Captured by Oscar-nominated cinematographer César Charlone (“City of God”), the film journeys from the ravaged landscapes of Eastern Europe to the vibrant settings of South America. The narrative is delivered through the perspective of Willer’s father, Alfred, voiced by Tim Pigott-Smith (“Quantum of Solace”), who recounts the harrowing experiences of bureaucratic chaos, forced relocations, and suicides, yet ultimately survives to establish a new life as an architect in Brazil. In light of the ongoing global refugee crisis, “RED TREES” offers a poignant reflection on a family’s wartime ordeal and their quest for peace across the ocean.
