Overview

In a coastal area known for its winds and fog, the arrival of sargassum, a group of algae valued for its therapeutic and fertilizing properties, is eagerly awaited. In a world where sargassum is increasingly rare, its appearance takes on a divine dimension, almost like a gift, transforming its harvest into a ritual of great importance, and where the attempt to artificially reproduce these algae becomes inevitable. This film explores connections between ancestral practices and new developments, showing us that understanding the past is essential to evolution. Starting from the record of customs of this sargassum-harvesting community, and problematizing popular and scientific knowledge surrounding these algae, it seeks to speculate on an illusory and technological future, inspired by sustainability and the circularity of these practices.
