In the film the figure of a fish human stands as a metaphor for the genealogy of the universe as well as that of the artist. We follow the journey of a ceramic fish as it travels from one hand to the next, from place to place, from one time to another. We encounter grandmothers, mothers and daughters, experiencing a poem about the past, present, and future of human and more-than-human inhabitants of the planet. Shifting between lines of individual genealogy and cosmic creation, this work reflects on the private and broader relations we foster with our surroundings. Separate yet interconnected narratives converge to contemplate history, humanity, ecology; fish, mothers, spaceships, and the sea.
