Botanica
Synopsis:
Writer and director Jim Findlay examines our complicated relationship to plant life in the creepy, futuristic black comedy Botanica. Sealed in a human terrarium, two unorthodox botanists and a janitor unleash a flood of unusual findings and overturn the constraints of science and social norms. Botanica tracks the scientific experiments and the developing relationship between two botanists sealed in a research facility-a human terrarium. they are joined by a janitor who seems unremarkable except for his curious habit of reading aloud to the plants the most salacious sections of erotic literary texts and his own self-penned blue poetry. Initially the experiments seem to demonstrate an astonishing level of plant consciousness, but eventually the botanists hit a dead end. they decide to bring the janitor into their research. the introduction of this human subject reinvigorates their investigation but leads to unforeseen consequences and unleashes a flood of unusual findings that end in chaos as the constraints of science and social norms are overturned.
