The Family Tree follows the story of Sean, a workaholic animal rescuer who is too busy with work to spend time with his family during the holidays. One day, a homeless man named Roberto shows up at Sean's doorstep and claims to be an old Panamanian holiday tradition personified. Sean is skeptical at first, but soon realizes that Roberto may be the key to reconnecting with his family and finding true happiness.
Roberto leads Sean on a journey through the city, introducing him to a cast of characters who remind him of the importance of love, friendship, and family. As Sean begins to let his guard down and embrace his newfound sense of community, he realizes that his workaholic lifestyle has caused him to neglect the people he cares about the most.
Together with Roberto and his new friends, Sean sets out to make things right and reconnect with his estranged wife and daughter. Along the way, they face various challenges and obstacles, but ultimately come to understand that the true meaning of the holidays is not about material possessions, but rather the relationships we share with those we love.
In the end, Sean learns to let go of his workaholic tendencies and focus on what really matters in life - his family and friends. The Family Tree is a heartwarming tale of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of community to heal even the deepest wounds.
