From the diary of Christopher Columbus, October 15, 1492: "And deviated from the land by two lombard shots, there is in all these islands so much depth that one cannot reach it. These islands are very green and fertile and have very sweet airs, and there may be many things that I do not know, because I do not want to stop to go through many islands to find gold". They had only been on land for four days. The gold never existed. It is only possible to suppose the sweetness of the air. The islands are still green. Returning to that well-remembered phrase, perhaps it could be thought that what cannot be talked about is not only the warning of a perceived border of the verbalizable, but also the disquieting disfigurement of certain limits that occur behind it. Or several. Perhaps all of them.

Inspired by the last essay Charles Darwin wrote on the action of worms, Anna Marziano crafted a film where the cultural and political action is placed in continuity with the work of earthworms, digesting and feeding the soil microscopically day after day. The film intertwines direct observation, video projections and the decay of some film negatives buried in the ground in the attempt to keep visual traces of the life of micro-organisms.
