Hortus Malabaricus is a poetic exploration of Kerala’s lost herbal heritage, unfolding the story of a 17th-century manuscript where native wisdom met colonial curiosity. Blending history, memory, and nature, the film journeys through forgotten texts and living voices, reviving the deep-rooted bond between people, plants, and place - a timeless legacy etched in leaves and language.
