Artistic documentary delves into the complexities of human interaction with Giant Hogweed, an invasive plant originating from the Caucasus. Challenging the traditional perspective on migrating plants and the narrow human approach to these organisms, the film traces the plant’s migration from Central Asia to Europe and the Americas. It explores the fear instilled by media portrayal and the my own artistic and spiritual connection with the plant. Emphasizing a non-human perspective, the film raises questions about our relationship with the natural world.
