00:00At the beginning of the film, we see a man lying in his uncle's messy house.

00:04Then he goes out to water a single, almost dead tree in his backyard.

00:08When the camera gets close to his face, the man turns around and we see his mouth closed

00:13with tape.

00:14If he utters another sentence, he will die instantly.

00:17But how did he end up like this?

00:19He returns to the film.

00:20A few weeks ago, this was Jack, a literary agent whose job it was to find talented writers

00:26and sell their books to publishers.

00:28Jack is an outstanding businessman and a very talented speaker.

00:32He is famous among his colleagues for his ability to convince anyone to do anything.

00:37Jack has a beautiful wife named Carol and a one-year-old son whom he loves very much.

00:42But he often neglects his family due to work.

00:45Carol is accustomed to caring for the child and is tired of her husband's indifference

00:49towards his family duties.

00:51One morning in his office, Jack discovers that the famous priest Sanji is in town.

00:56The book he wrote is expected to achieve great success and bring in many profits.

01:01Chuck's interest is piqued, so he brings up the idea to his team, who are skeptical

01:05about whether the priest will make a deal with them, but he reminds them how amazing

01:09his persuasion skills are.

01:11The next day, he books a meditation session with the priest, Sanji, hoping to meet him.

01:16However, when it comes to actual meditation, he is unserious and distracted, and once the

01:21session is about to take place, Jack pretends to be overwhelmed with anxiety, so the priest

01:27Sanji takes him aside himself.

01:29During the conversation, Jack intelligently tells him that he wants to publish his work

01:33as a priest to the world in the form of a book.

01:36The priest, Sanji, realizes Jack's intentions and walks to the backyard of his house, not

01:41caring about his offer.

01:43There is a strange tree in the yard that hurts when he tries to touch it, but he ignores

01:47the small wound, and they continue talking about the deal.

01:51After Jack tells you how much he respects Sanji and his teachings, the priest finally

01:55agrees to work with him.

01:57Then Jack, overjoyed, cancels his schedule for the rest of the day to visit his mother

02:01and tell her about his accomplishment.

02:04His mother lives in an old house and suffers from back pain that causes her to misname

02:08her son repeatedly.

02:10Jack has a good relationship with his late father, Raymond, and so when his mother calls

02:14him by his father's name, he feels upset.

02:17The day gets worse for him in the evening when he and Carol quarrel.

02:21Carol wants to move to a family neighborhood so that her son can grow up in a better environment,

02:26but Jack does not want to leave the house.

02:28Instead, he suggests they paint the studio room to turn it into a nursery for the children.

02:33In the middle of the argument, the couple feels the ground shake.

02:37Immediately afterward, the entire house begins to move, and a mysterious tree grows out of

02:43nowhere in the backyard.

02:45Jack looks at the magnificent tree in a state of shock and realizes that it looks like.

02:50It is identical to the tree that injured him previously.

02:53It even has the red mark that was on the original tree.

02:56Thus, he believes that Priest Sanji sent it to him as a gift.

03:00The next morning, Jack is happy to receive Priest Sanji's book, which he believes will

03:04make millions from it.

03:06However, his plan evaporates when he discovers that the book is composed.

03:10It's only five pages long.

03:13Thinking that the priest Sanji is joking with him, Jack goes to him, but he knows because

03:17the priest wants to make the book short.

03:19Jack argues with him that this is part of the contract, but the priest, Sanji, is adamant

03:24in his decision.

03:26During the chat, Jack tells him about the appearance of a tree in the backyard of his

03:29house, which interests Sanji.

03:32From here, they go to his house to inspect it, but they see that the branch has no leaves,

03:37while the rest of the tree is green.

03:39After examining the tree for some time, the priest Sanji reached a shocking conclusion.

03:44Jack's life has now become linked to the tree.

03:47Every word he speaks will cause a leaf to fall, which means that when the remaining

03:51leaves run out, it will end.

03:53His life also scares Jack, who tries to cut down the tree, but he ends up hurting himself.

03:58Here he discovers that if the tree is damaged, Jack will suffer with it, and there is no

04:02way for him to save himself except to stop talking completely.

04:06Sanji brings him back with his help after consulting his colleagues in Bolivia, but

04:11that will take three days.

04:12This morning.

04:13Next, Jack wakes up from a nightmare and tries to leave a note for his wife.

04:18It does not take long until he discovers that every word he writes will also lead to a leaf

04:22falling from the tree, and even if he tries to communicate with anyone in any way, in

04:27the next scene, Jack goes to work in despair and faces several obstacles in.

04:32Due to his lack of speech, the coffee maker gives him the wrong order and causes an accident

04:37when he tries to save a blind man.

04:39However, the day gets worse for him at work when he is introduced to an important investor

04:44who cannot talk to him.

04:45While he tries to engage in the conversation, two squirrels start climbing the tree in the

04:50house.

04:51Because of this, Jack feels annoyed and begins to laugh and act stupidly.

04:55Later that day, his assistant Iron attends a meeting in the hope of communicating with

04:59the investors on his behalf, but during the meeting, Jack sweats profusely because someone

05:05is watering the tree at home.

05:07The investors try to ignore the flood in front of them, but the meeting ends.

05:11It is a disaster due to Iron's lack of communication skills after a long day.

05:16When Jack finally arrives home, Carol tries to talk to him about their relationship.

05:20She considers his silence to mean that he is angry with her, which creates a bigger

05:24wall, so Carol leaves with the child.

05:27Thus, in just one day, living with the curse that befell him, Jack lost his greatest investor.

05:33He also lost his family.

05:35This calamity struck him like a storm, and he felt helpless.

05:38He tried to contact Sanji, who was in Bolivia, to find out what was new.

05:43He wasted several papers with a few words, but he did not get an answer.

05:47The next day, he asked Jack to attend another meeting with the investors who fled from him

05:51at that time, and this was his last chance.

05:54To convince them and apologize to them for the previously failed meeting, despite the

05:59tension, Jack does his best to adapt, but luck does not seem to be on his side at home.

06:04The gardener sprays insecticides on the mysterious tree, and this makes Jack cough hysterically.

06:10However, his boss tries to keep the meeting going before Jack ruins everything.

06:15Something and he stuffs his nose with a stick, and so Kyle has had enough of investors who

06:19no longer want to be associated with a very childish person.

06:23After the meeting, Aljay was completely fired by his boss.

06:27At the end of the day, he returns home frustrated and calls his assistant, Aaron.

06:32Then, using his picture, he tries to explain the situation to poor Aaron, who finally understands

06:37it after hours of explanation.

06:40When he refuses to believe in the existence of the curse, Jack is forced to speak and

06:45waste more papers to prove his sincerity.

06:48After that, Arm is assigned to watch a tree while he wanders around the city doing random

06:52acts of kindness.

06:54He was feeding the poor, donating to the church, and helping a cat stuck in a tree.

06:58All this while he is on the phone with Aaron, but nothing breaks the curse.

07:03In the end, Aaron is forced to return to the office and leave Jack alone again.

07:07Thus, Jack sits helpless in front of the tree and meditates, then relaxes and imagines his

07:13childhood.

07:14He remembers how he had a happy family until his father left his mother and left him as

07:18well.

07:19After all these years, he could not forgive his father for his actions.

07:23Suddenly, Jack wakes up from his state of distress and discovers that Sanji has returned

07:28to the city.

07:29With eyes full of hope, he rushes to meet Sanji, who tells him regretfully that nothing

07:33can be done about the curse.

07:35Sanji has asked every expert he knows, but no one has the answer.

07:39At this moment, Jack tells me that he must reconcile with something inside him to break

07:43the curse.

07:45After losing his will to live, a disappointed Jack returns home to drink, so are, comes

07:50to save him and tries to help him, but Jack decides to end his life by singing a song

07:55while he loses his will.

07:57The tree has most of its leaves before Iron Jack Arden falls and puts duct tape on his

08:01mouth.

08:02At this point, we see that there is only one branch of leaves left on the tree.

08:07The next morning, Jack wakes up, knowing that this is his last day on earth.

08:11He listens to his heart and knows exactly what.

08:15What he wants to do with the last few words he has left is, first, he goes to his wife,

08:20Carol, and tells her he loves her.

08:23Then he helps a struggling writer who has ignored him for months by buying his work

08:26for $10,000.

08:29Then he goes for a walk on the beach and contemplates people living their lives.

08:33He is reminded of an old couple talking about their lives.

08:36During his childhood, finally, when darkness falls, he visits his mother, who thinks he

08:41is his father again.

08:43At this time, Jack gets along with her, listening to her as she happily reveals how successful

08:48her son is and how proud she is of him.

08:51However, there is one thing she does not like about Jack, which is that he has intense hatred

08:55in his heart, and he refuses to give up on her.

08:58She knows that he is suffering.

09:00Because of the grudge he holds towards his father, she believes that it is time to forget

09:04the past.

09:06Although Jack cannot speak, he remains speechless.

09:09He finally understands that no matter how much success he achieves, he will never be

09:13happy until he forgives his father, and so he is determined to do the same.

09:18The correct one is that Jack tells his mother that he loves her very much.

09:22He only has three leaves left on the tree.

09:24In the next scene, Jack visits his parents' grave, and in a moment of certainty, he tells

09:29him that he forgives him for his last words.

09:32All the leaves on the tree have fallen, and as a result, his chest tightens with a sharp

09:36pain, and he falls to the ground.

09:39After a few seconds, his phone rings, and he catches him with all his might.

09:43The caller is Arlon, who tells Jack that he will not believe what has just happened.

09:48The mysterious tree has become green again, and with this, the curse has finally been

09:53broken.

09:54The scene changes us after a few months when we see Sanji inviting Jack to his house to

09:58congratulate him on writing a book, the title of which is A Thousand Words, which tells

10:03the story of Jack and his relationship with his father.

10:07After breaking the curse, Jack turned into a different person.

10:10He is now a truly happy man with his life and cares about his family.

10:14Meanwhile, Aaron takes Jack's place in the office, and he is now arrogant like his former

10:19boss.

10:20He is about to learn his lesson, which he will also get from the mysterious tree that

10:24appears.

10:25Magically, in his office elsewhere, Jack surprises his wife, Carol, by bringing her home, which

10:31is in an area where their child can live a new life.

10:34Jack also planted a tree in the yard so he could remember the lessons he learned.

10:38The film ends with the couple playing with their child in their new home.
