Release of Ildikó Enyedi film Silent Friend
Overview
The film ‘Silent Friend’, directed by Ildikó Enyedi, explores the connection between humanity and nature through three interconnected narratives spanning over a century. The stories are centered around a ginkgo biloba tree located in the botanical garden of the University of Marburg, Germany.
The timeline begins in 1908, following Grete, one of the university’s first female students, as she navigates gender discrimination. The second era in 1972 follows Hannes, a student who connects with nature through an activist. The final segment in 2020 features neuroscientist Tony Wong, who travels from Hong Kong to study infant brain activity but shifts his research toward the ginkgo tree due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Filmed in locations including Marburg and Cologne, the production features an international cast including Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Léa Seydoux, and Luna Wedler. The film has received recognition at the Venice Film Festival, winning the FIPRESCI prize and the Marcello Mastroianni Award.
