A botanist traces ancient plant roots to blend science, childhood memory, and Chinese symbolism.
“I Rooted, But I Flow” is a poetic journey
between science, memory and the deep
cultural connection between humans and
plants. When a botanist discovers an ancient
fossil genetically linked to the tree of her
childhood, she returns home to trace the
hidden roots connecting past and present.
Rooted in the mystical symbolism of plants in
Chinese culture, the film explores the invisible
connections that link all living things.
A film for everyone who enjoys dreamlike
journeys between reality and imagination.
