    • Synopsis
    • Alice is a single parent and passionate scientist in the field of green genetic engineering. As a plant breeder in a company specializing in ornamental plants, she develops a new species that is not only particularly beautiful, but also smells very good: if you take good care of the plant, keep it warm and talk to her, it develops a therapeutic effect: the flower makes happy. Illegally, Alice takes one of the flowers as a gift for her teenage son Joe. They call the plant "Little Joe" - but as the flower grows and thrives, so does Alice's suspicion that this purplish red flower she created is not as harmless as her nickname suggests.
