Director Statement

'Plant Lady' is a vivid, colorful film about an anthropomorphic onion that comes to life and befriends a young homebody who also happens to care for her own plants. It's a story about two different beings learning to get along and accept each other. We wanted to create a movie that felt both dreamy and emotional.

We use lots of beautiful colors to make the film look special and bring out the characters' feelings. The onion and the plant lover Vera go through a spiral of emotions together, and as they spend time with each other, they realize they have more in common than they thought.

Our team did a great job bringing the characters to life, making them feel real and lovable. We want the audience to feel sweet and happy while watching the protagonists evolve. It's a reminder that we can learn from and connect with others, even if they seem different.

'Plant Lady' is a story that celebrates friendship and the magic of unexpected connections. We hope to show that wonderful things can happen when we open our hearts to new experiences.
