Flora is a 2017 Canadian independent science fiction thriller and historical drama written and directed by Sasha Louis Vukovic.
[2] The film follows a group of students on a university botany expedition as they try to survive and avoid exposure to an unknown pathogen.
In the spring of 1929, a team of student botanists arrive in an uncharted forest somewhere in North America on expedition to chart the native flora.
In light of the lack of food supplies, the students embark on a trek through the forest to reach a railway where they might be able to rendezvous with a monthly train that is scheduled to pass by in several days time.
The students prepare foods from local plant material by boiling the harvest in order to render them non-pathogenic and create biohazard suits with gas masks to prevent infection.
