The film interprets the Karst system of underwater caves as a rich temporal and material landfill of climate history. Geologically, the seemingly unending cave opens up the area of sensitivity and increases the depths of the earth’s crust. The river becomes the narrator of the underground story, progressing from drops to ponors.
