A Scottish orchid grower, Jessica (Tilda Swinton), spends time in Bogotá with her sister and her sister’s family. An unexplained and unevidenced bang wakes her, and she tries to track it down: to recreate it, to share it with someone, to find out what it is. Swaths of indefinite stillness begin to tingle: at any moment they might be cut through by an image or a sound that seems to have no origin and, to most, no impact—a catastrophe without precedent, or consequence. Impact registers on Jessica’s face: a gasp in public, or a look of wonder, or tears. Origins are buried, occluded, built on top of, but Jessica finds herself attuned to them. A hole is found in a skull: to let something out, or let something in.
