A cerebral, unsettling sci-fi drama that uses genetic engineering and a happiness-inducing flower as a lens to examine maternal neglect, the commodification of emotion, and the uncanny gap between intention and consequence.

Alice, a single mother who is more dedicated to her work as a genetic engineer than to her teenage son Joe, develops a new variety of flower that is supposed to have the ability to make its owner happy thanks to its special chemical properties.
