PLANETES

France

Animation

Dendelion, Baraban, Léonto and Taraxa – four dandelion achenes that survived from a series of nuclear explosions destroying Earth – are propelled into the cosmos. After crash-landing on an unknown planet, they set out in search of soil where their species might survive. However, they must face countless obstacles: the elements, fauna, flora, the climate.

Statement of the director:
I hope the audience leaves DANDELION'S ODYSSEY with more than just the knowledge of what an achene is. That they understand that nature is not a backdrop to be trampled on, not something separate from the self. That all the little things surrounding us are the true actors in an action film. That a growing plant can be so beautiful it might make you cry. We are all a force of nature, bound to one another – together, we make up our planet.
