I found the entirety of Pumzi incredibly powerful, but the ending especially fantastic. The protagonist falls just short of the forest, planting her tree and dying at the edge of the desert. Knowing that she succeeded somewhat in planting the tree makes the ending even better, in how bittersweet it is. And the effect of the camera zooming out to show the title of the film and the forest on the other side of the mountains is masterful. The ending even includes sounds from a thunderstorm, planting water in the viewers’ subconscious. Honestly, this is one of the best endings I’ve witnessed in any medium of story at all.
