Hortus Malabaricus

Hortus Malabaricus is a lyrical voyage into Kerala's vanished herbal heritage, tracing the tale of a 17th-century manuscript where indigenous wisdom intersected with colonial curiosity. Merging history, memory, and nature, the film travels through forgotten texts and living voices, reviving the deep-rooted bond among people, plants, and place—a timeless legacy etched in leaves and language.
