The Wandering Plants

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Enough! Kanako wants to become a plant. Tired of interacting with humans, she spends her days silent and alone in the botanical gardens. One day, a melancholy young boy named Ko appears with his so-called “dog” – a potted plant on a leash! Kanako dreams with Ko about an imaginary new life after her transformation, and the two loners become friends – until Ko begins to grow roots of his own. THE WANDERING PLANTS celebrated its premiere in the competition of the 2019 PIA Film Festival.
