80% of European Christmas trees are grown in Denmark from seeds collected in a small region of Georgia. The seeds are harvested every autumn in Georgia and then sold to the Danish, who grow the seedlings for seven years before selling them across Europe. The Georgian firs grow as tall as 60 meters, and to reach the best cones, the pickers have to climb to the very top. Sometimes, they lose their balance and fall. This documentary follows the joys and sorrows of both Danish and Georgian communities involved in this process.
