In Accettura, southern Italy, two trees are selected each year
to be married, in an ancient ritual that has been carried out for centuries. 
With a natural grasp of duration and framing, debuting filmmaker Angelo Toscano 
breaks down this oddly contemporary arboreal wedding into a series of ravishing vistas: 
a solitary ox on a country road, men lashing ropes to lichen-covered bark, a procession 
through a great landscape, the tiny figures that climb to the very top of the treeand 
disappear into the upper branches as fireworks bang and pop; 
human and non-human forever side by side. (James Lattimer) VIENNALE
