Review

A child who discovers a dandelion shows her friends but is ignored. So, she copes with her loneliness by befriending a black cat she meets behind a house. Plants are interesting in their ambivalence because they can be as beautiful as flowers and ugly as mold simultaneously. Still, the film focuses on plants’ passive ability to sway in the wind. Just as windows are portals through which cats can reach inside and outside worlds, spores are the connection between life and death. Humans who know how to pay attention to items as small as spores give them soil, water, and sunlight. Humans need not face but the ability to offer their bodies to the wind, like plants, the main character. It’s a story that focuses on a life of growth, a whole development within a city. (LEE Bora)
