"It's this little tiny story of a kid growing up in the 50s with a mother who's grace incarnate and a father who's oppressive in nature. So he is negotiating his way through it, defining who he's gonna be when he grows up.

So that's where the sci-fi – or the sci-fact – comes in."That's not ambitious at all. We'll find out tomorrow if TREE OF LIFE will be showing at Cannes next month. Until then, click over to Empire's story, where Pitt also addresses Heath Ledger's near-involvement with the film. It is expected that Summit Entertainment will release TREE OF LIFE later this year. This will not be an easy wait.
