Undefined intelligences analyse an assemblage of signals they produce about an infected planet when a resistant matter comes and disturbs the flux of stories, time and space they are trying to understand. Interrogating coloniality and its rhetoric the film evokes questions about the stories were told and our possibilities to disrupt them. (Doclisboa)
