Three characters search for meaning in the growth of an overlooked urban weed. The Narrator pursues the plant to find the elderly woman first seen picking it, yet as observations accumulate a shadow researcher emerges. Their methods entangle and the focus blurs. Is the Kyria’s knowledge being sought, or the Collector’s? And, other than the symbolic plant, do the other figures exist at all?

Coming home to make amends with her estranged father, Eleni finds herself confronted with an unexpected kinship.
