Both fable and ode to plants, The Everlasting Pea is a short film that explores our human relationship with the botanic world.

Journeying through ancient ruins, mysterious dreamscapes, and ethereal otherworldly plant images, the story moves between a scientist who anaesthetizes a pea plant, questioning plant awareness and our shared evolutionary history, a pea plant that dreams of a time when it lived and thrived in the ruins of the Colosseum in Rome, and a colonial doctor who uncovers a botanical mystery.

The Everlasting Pea aims to inspire viewers to see plants both culturally and biologically in a new way, and to reflect upon the ecological moment we are living in today.
