One Aloe, One Ficus, One Avocado and Six Dracaenas

About This Movie

So, 'One Aloe, One Ficus, One Avocado and Six Dracaenas' is a curious little documentary that really gets under your skin. The pacing feels almost meditative, with images of packages waiting silently beneath a bridge, hinting at lost stories. It’s not flashy, but the voiceover draws you in, conjuring memories of objects we cling to – they’re just things, but they carry so much weight. The blend of everyday items with the backdrop of conflict in Ukraine gives it this heavy, poignant tone that lingers. You start to question what we truly value when everything’s at stake. It’s stripped back, raw. Definitely a distinctive piece, even if it’s not for everyone’s taste.
