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.
Momoko Seto, born in Tokyo, Japan, lives and works in France after studying at Le Fresnoy. A filmmaker at CNRS, she creates scientific documentaries and experimental films. In 2025, Dandelion’s Odyssey closed Cannes Critics’ Week, where it won the FIPRESCI Prize.
