Director Statement

This film is about reproductive power, our connection with the land, and non-normative desire. This film is an empowering, happy story about a woman's control over her own reproductive labor, as opposed to more common narratives that involve tragedy. I believe that control over resources like public land are connected to power over reproduction, and that these two themes could be told in a single story about a woman and a plant communing and completing each others' life cycles.
