Fructuose is a surrealist film directed by Iván Argote, which was inspired by the now mythical story of the apple that fell from its tree and set Isaac Newton on the path of the theory of gravity. This story turned out to be fiction. The tree from which the apple supposedly grew was preserved by the British state, and the story has been widely disseminated in texts, drawings and films since the 17th century. In the short film Fructuose, by showing the slow fall of a pineapple in a landscape reminiscent of the English countryside, the artist uses absurdity to question our conceptions of science, its genesis and the ideological components that animate them.
