Short
Synopsis
Home-work-home-work-home-work. and so the protagonist's perfectly normal life goes on: but not that morning. Something happens that is extraordinarily different from the usual routine: he buys a little plant. Yes, a plant. This small, courageous act triggers an uncontrollable green thumb. The house fills up with pots and leaves, with everything; until he even builds a beautiful Victorian-style greenhouse in the garden. Locked inside, night and day, he neglects everything else. And little by little he loses everything, his family, his job and he remains alone. But locked inside, in that crazy Eden, he notices something.. something that is happening... is he actually really alone? Or maybe not? Or is he just mad?
The film tells this story in a dreamlike style, a light drama. At times ironic, at times desperate. To emphasise this style, animation is used to enrich the adventure and leave the... dream.
Matias Gadaleta's directorial debut.
Based on the novel of the same name (2019) by Giovanni Fratantonio.
