Agricultural researcher Dr. Martin Lowery is trekking through a dense forest with unusually fertile soil, searching for a few colleagues swallowed by the foliage. The deeper he goes and the farther he advances, the further he leaves reality behind and the stronger his suspicion becomes that there is something lurking in these woods, in its soil. In the Earth is an unorthodox mix of folk horror and state-of-the-art technology rendered into a psycho trip oscillating between abject terror, excess, and transcendence.
