Plant
Dandelion seeds scattered by an 8-year-old girl, Dalae, take root in the deep wounds of a person dying alone in her studio.
An 8-year-old girl, Dalae, has no friends and plays alone. One day, Dalae blows dandelion seeds, which fall through the window of someone’s studio. In the studio, there is a young woman who has attempted suicide by slitting her wrist. One of the dandelion seeds falls into the deep cuts on her wrist. A dying woman pats the dandelion seed. After a while, the woman stops breathing, and the dandelion seed takes root in the dead person’s wounds and sprouts. The sprout grows in the sun and rain, using the dead woman’s body as a source of nutrients.
The plants around us mean life. They provide oxygen for us to breathe and comfort our weary hearts. Surely we should have enough interaction and companionship with them… and that’s how this story came to be.
In this story, the characters are the dead person and Dalae, but at the center of it, there is a plant. The plant was passively driven by Dalae and nourished by the dead woman’s body. But when the plant grows well, it becomes an active agent and gives people comfort. So this film shows the growth from the plant’s point of view. I hope that the audience will also be able to connect with plants and be comforted by them.
