SYNOPSIS

[EN] HOUSTON’S WHITEBEAM follows climber, botanist and poet Libby Houston who, at 80 years old, continues her work climbing the 300-foot cliffs of Bristol's Avon Gorge to investigate rare plants. By reaching every ledge on every rock face – and using her poet's eye for close observation – Libby has helped establish the area as one of England’s most important botanical sites. But as it stands, there is only one known member of her namesake discovery - Houston’s Whitebeam; reflecting on its inevitable extinction prompts Libby to contemplate her own legacy. Through tragic personal loss, she finds beauty and meaning in fragments of experience.
