• Alma is a young girl who has a strong attachment to her grandfather and his olive
tree that she and her grandfather love and care for deeply. Everything is okay until
the farm that the family runs is losing money so to save the farm, Alma's father sells
the Olive tree that has been their family for generations. This leads to Alma's

return one day. Unable to see her grandfather so upset, Alma looks for the tree and
finds out that it now resigns in an energy Company in Germany in Dusseldorf.

My Personal Reflection on "El Olivio"
• My Reflection on "El Olivio" was boring at the start, but as I got into the film I
started to get more intrested in it. When I learned what was going on I started to feel
really bad for Alma's geandfather because he was so broken from his tree being
taken away from him.
• What I found extremly touching was that Alma went to through so much trouble just
to see her Grandfather happy again.
• One thing I learned from watching "El Olivio", was to never give up, even when the
whole world is against you, you do anything for the people you love. I would
recommend this film to young adults, because it shows how even though it looks like
nothing will work because the adults don't believe that it could work, there is always
away if you put your mind to it.
