Naomi's Tree

A young couple leaves Japan for the coast of Canada, bringing a cherry seed to plant in their new garden. During the years that follow, the little cherry tree watches over the family as the couple have children, and then grandchildren. Young Naomi finds shelter in the tree's branches. But when war breaks out the family is sent to an internment camp away from the coast. And though Naomi often dreams of going home, the dream fades as the years go by. For many years the cherry tree sends out a song of love and peace that reaches Naomi only in her dreams. When Naomi finally returns after the war, the tree is waiting for her. Based on the World War II story of Naomi's Road, Naomi's Tree is a poetic story about enduring love and its almost mystical power to heal the spirit.
