The Arzobispo river is a trickle of water that runs through the city subway, but at times reveals itself between streets, passing under tunnels and canals. Its cobblestone body is home to a subway world. The river, home, when there isn’t one. Its guests paint windows and curtains on the walls of the tunnel through which it flows, decorate it with pots and bathe in its bed. On rainy days, the river threatens to erase the traces. The city and the river, parallel and inseparable realities, flowing juxtaposed in double 8mm format.

This film embraces plant sentience as fact and speculates how beings of the vegetal variety might approach interspecies communication with humans (who are far more sensorially limited). Leaves, mycelium, and roots playfully examine how humans experience the world, and the (supposedly) silent watchers consider what language those swift blurs of human might possibly understand.
