Geedka nolosha (1988), or The Tree of Life, is a short film from Somali writer and director Abdulkadir Ahmed Said.
A man leaves his home and walks through a village, past various animals, as well as people going about their daily tasks, and stops to greet some of them.
After great effort, he successfully fells the tree and the sound of it crashing is particularly upsetting to those around.
A great wind rushes through the forest and the man wraps himself in his sheet to protect himself.
After crying out in despair and rolling down a dune, he comes across a small plant growing in the sand.
