A charismatic and successful literary agent named Jack McCall finds himself trapped in the routine of his life, using words as tools to manipulate others and always get ahead in his profession. However, everything changes when a mysterious tree appears in his garden, a gift from a wise guru who seemingly has a magical connection with Jack. The rule is clear: every time he speaks, a leaf from the tree will fall. This becomes a real challenge when he discovers that he has a total of one thousand words he can use before the tree is completely stripped bare.
As his life turns into a kind of survival game, Jack realizes how important each word he speaks really is. The superficiality of his life begins to crumble as he learns to value meaningful communication and to appreciate the people who truly matter in his life, such as his wife and his son. The situations become both comedic and dramatic as Jack tries to balance his career, his personal relationships, and the pressure of counting his words.
The journey of self-discovery not only teaches him the importance of choosing his words wisely but also shows him that less can be more. From hilarious moments to deep reflections, Jack transforms into a more aware and genuine person. The film serves as a fun and thought-provoking reminder of the power of language and human connection.
