A wildlife volunteer’s (Mary Woodvine) daily observations of a rare flower
take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her and
viewers to question what is real and what is nightmare. Is the landscape
not only alive but sentient? Shot by Jenkin on grainy 16mm colour film
stock and with his trademark post-synched sound, the form feels both
innovative and authentic to the period. Filmed on location around the
disused tin mines of West Penwith, it is also an ode to Cornwall’s rich
folklore and natural beauty.
