Synopsis
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 fascina- ting 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.

Quote:
A potent, obliquely told coming-of-age movie that fuses pop culture, coma, teen sexuality and plant life into a dark, troubling whole, Chilean Roberto Doveris’ debut is called The Plants. Held together by a low-key central performance by Argentine singer Violeta Castillo, also debuting, The Plants is more memorable for its swoony, dreamy atmospherics than for ideas that are forced and abstract to the point of meaninglessness, but several high-risk sequences, the continuous, underlying throb of sexual tension and a canny way with visually evoking states of mind suggest that Doveris, as evidenced by his inclusion in Berlin’s Generation 14plus sidebar, is one to watch.
