In between childhood wonder, idle reverie, and planetary grief, a meditation emerges on what it means to tend the subtle pulse that binds species and generations. Through disappearing rituals, spells against catastrophe, and the renewed power of aging bodies, these works inhabit the delicate spaces where intimacy meets enormity. How do we belong to our lives when our lives belong to something infinitely more vast?

An Amazonian ethnocide is justified by war in Ukraine. All streamed online under the gaze of the filmmaker, he leaves the screen and meets his 3-year-old son who marvels at the flowers growing in the garden. In this crossing of realities, a reflection on childhood and its innocence in a world threatened by human cruelty and climate change is interwoven.
