If Trees Could Talk

About This Movie

If Trees Could Talk is a quietly powerful documentary that creeps under your skin. The film tracks Deniss, a young Russian-speaking guy caught in the monotony of fast food and a dim apartment filled with memories of his late grandmother. It’s raw, a bit melancholic, but his weekly stand-up gigs provide a stark contrast. The humor feels almost like a survival mechanism, grounded in his otherwise dull life. The pacing is methodical, like a slow burn, inviting reflection. There’s something very distinctive about how it captures the loneliness of urban life and the weight of familial loss. It’s not flashy, but there's depth in Deniss's performances, a gritty authenticity that sticks with you.
