Fractal Fluid

Fractal Fluid is an immersive documentary that reveals how fractal patterns connect all living things and shape nature’s silent language. In Germany, a retired doctor independently investigates the crystallisation of water droplets. Through microscopic images, she discovers how tears or blood form beautiful fractal patterns that react to healing processes and may have memory or sensitivity. In the Peruvian Amazon, a shaman transforms her ritual visions and dialogues with plants into fractal looms, while her territory is threatened by deforestation driven by German Mennonite colonies. Both women, pierced by the pain of loss and the popular ignorance of their discoveries, are able to understand the languages of water, plants and animals.
