The Last Observer is a film from beyond the future and the past merged together. We are talking about a new world in which plants and technology dominate, where we can finally know what a plant has to say.

A plant is having a recurring dream about a 'last observer' and recounts this strange dream in a dystopian narrative. All the components of the film take us on a journey through time.
