'Like all of Julien’s works, this film is a lush visual feast that envelops the viewer. The film explores transformation, adaptation and survival, moving between science fiction, philosophy, ecology and art. Inspired by writers Octavia Butler, Naomi Mitchison, Ursula K. Le Guin and philosopher Donna Haraway, the work reflects on how change shapes life and identity.' — Joanne Shurvell
