Average
As a scientist explains in the film, "ghost strata" are theoretical layers of time. When you see the strata of sedimentary rocks, you understand that the space around that rock, the very space you occupy, was also once filled with earth. Rivers composes the film like a calendar, with 12 sections, one for each month of the year of its creation.
