The Last Tree follows Femi, a teenager torn between the rough streets of a northern English town and the pull of his West African roots. After a family upheaval uncovers a legacy he barely knows, he is forced to leave behind what he knows and trace his identity through landscapes of memory, love, and loss. Shola Amoo crafts an intimate coming-of-age drama that doubles as social realism, exploring belonging, migration, and the price of growing up.
