In the Botanical Garden of Madrid's herbarium, the storage room labeled 'S59' holds botanical specimens from the 18th and 19th centuries, primarily from former colonies, that remain uncataloged and invisible within the official archive. The film explores the spectral dimension of the archive, re-imagining the return voyage of a parcel of seeds from this deposit back to the southern coast of Peru, the place where they were originally collected.
