A surreal, darkly comic parable about neighborly conflict that escalates from a flower dispute into violence, using stop-motion animation of live actors to explore themes of greed, morality, and peace.

In this Oscar-winning short film, Norman McLaren employs the principles normally used to put drawings or puppets into motion to animate live actors. The story is a parable about two people who come to blows over the possession of a flower.
