The Wishing Tree: Childhood Memories, a Romanian production directed by Andrei Huţuleac with a script by Mihai Mănescu, Matei Dima and Andrei Huţuleac, is the first feature film in the world released as NFT film frames. The project is implemented by Oveit and Minternational Affairs. 

The Wishing Tree: Childhood Memories is the first Romanian fantasy family film released in the last 30 years in Romania. It is a film destined for the young ones, as well as for the whole family, with an immediate impact on the lives of those who suffer. The film, inspired by real events, tells the story of Mara and her friends, who set out on a fantastic adventure leading into the world of one of the most famous Romanian children’s books: Childhood Memories written by Ion Creangă. 

The movie will be released in Romanian theaters starting 25 March 2022. All the funds generated by the film will be donated to the HOSPICE Casa Speranţei (HOSPICE House of Hope) Foundation, the largest NGO in Romania, that’s offering free palliative care for adults and children suffering from incurable illnesses. 

The Wishing Tree: Childhood Memories is a magical realism film, which has a style and atmosphere that takes us to the famous novel of Eric-Emannuel Schmitt, Oscar and the Lady in Pink. Associated with a charity and inspired by the true stories of HOSPICE Casa Speranţei, the film intends to support the mission of the foundation in Romania and to bring its contribution through the awareness that it can build up amongst film lovers, as well as through fundraising it proposes.

50% of the proceeds will be donated to the HOSPICE Casa Speranței Foundation. The cost of an NFT is the Ethereum (ETH) equivalent of 250 lei, an amount that represents the cost of a home care visit. 

The Wishing Tree: Childhood Memories is, in fact, a family film and a metaphor for an idea that should make everyone stop for a minute and think: cherish every moment of your life.
