在这部植物人片中,“Do you think plants could have souls? That we might even be able to talk to them?”
For a whole summer, 17-year-old Florencia has to look after her brother, who is trapped in a persistent vegetative state. She washes him, changes his nappies, and cuddles up to him in bed. From time to time she reads to him from a comic called Las Plantas, which is about plant souls that take control of human bodies at full moon. At night, Florencia makes contact with men on the internet. Images of her monotonous daily routine and a vibrant fantasy world merge to create a fascinating tale of a young woman as she self-determines her own sexual awakening. Dreamlike sequences and atmospheric, metallic music create the mood of a thriller.
Amid the responsibility of taking care of her brother, who is in vegetative state, financial problems and the awaking of her sexuality Florencia becomes obsessed with the comic "The Plants", which is about the invasion of plant souls to human bodies during full moon.
