With the help of scientist Audrey Dussutour and her colleagues from around the world, French documentarist Jacques Mitsch describes the uncanny and unusually persistent organism. Blobs are unicellular and do not have a nervous system, but that does not stop them from creeping toward food. They show signs of intelligence and their time and space memory makes life easier. They can even make strategic decisions about the direction of their expanse. What happens when a billion-year-old blob is put inside of a labyrinth? (Academia Film Olomouc)

Before the screening of the film, I had almost no knowledge of slime molds, which, despite their primitive structure, have extraordinary properties that could be the envy of any other creature. In the course of fifty minutes, the viewer learns various insights into the life of these single-celled organisms that continue to surprise scientists. These billion year old creatures can do unimaginable things without brains, nervous systems, mouths and limbs that make people lose their minds – ideally, they could be used in the future for research into serious diseases. I was also very interested in the information insert with the flatworms.
