A complicated story about what I assume is about 2 completely unrelated people who unwillingly become part of a science experiment that binds their identity and behavioural cycles with a parasite that is passed onto pigs and then orchids. Carruth adopts the lost daydream style of Terrence Malick where time means nothing and dialogue is merely background noise, all to rely on the picture and emotions to tell the story.
It might be more of an enjoyable film had Carruth not made so many quick edits and allowed the viewer to study and feel each shot for a bit longer. In the end the quick edits hurts a "thoughtful" film like this quite a bit.
