What if the fungus would cure and radically change society? An essay that explores possible alliances with the fungal reign. While tracing the outlines of a mysterious being, the film reveals the fungus as a true immune system of the planet and, by extension, of ourselves. As if in an uprising of spores, the encounters address the theme of renewal, and question what connects us when the world seems to fall apart.
