Synopsis

Dendelion, Baraban, Léonto and Taraxa are four dandelion achenes that survive the destruction of Earth following a series of nuclear explosions. Catapulted onto an unknown planet, they travel through hostile yet wondrous environments, encountering unexpected life forms, extreme natural phenomena, and unstable climates. In search of a ground where life might flourish again, they undertake a fragile odyssey of survival. Through a «stop-motion de la nature», the film works directly with organic elements and natural processes, transforming the very movement of living matter into an animating principle.
