SYNOPSIS
Helena’s house is emptying. With the departure of her youngest son, she faces a growing feeling of loneliness, uncovering new sets of emotions, to which she seems unfit. Next to her house, she keeps a greenhouse, where she finds some solace in the flowers growing inside. Putting evermore energy to her work, provide her with an easy escape to the feelings germinated by the inevitable transience of her family, to which she seems indifferent. Her dedication to growing flowers and expanding her business quickly escalates to an obsession, transforming the house and driving Helena into a state of alienation and delirium. The house becomes the physical manifestation of her mind, and is invaded and destroyed by plants, taking the place of the lives that were there before.
