A short film shot in the Błedów Desert In Poland, in search of the Lily of the Valley, a plant so abundant with symbolism and beauty it's easy to forget the 38 different cardenolides that could arrest your heart. As the plant was never found, the film is a record of a place unexpected in its surroundings.
The sound is a composed of field recordings in the desert and of a grand piano found in the Friends of the Fine Arts Society Gallery in Kraków (Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie).
