FILM SYNOPSIS:
A group of children were cast to represent the most vulnerable and receptive demographic. Set in a benign domestic space, the children form a group of siblings interacting out of boredom. They are without external simulta aside from a looping video of plants. The harsh juxtaposition of “nature” with their fabricated surroundings further feeds their boredom, fixing them in an inescapable trance of disengagement.
