A film about the discrepancy between productization and beauty, taking place on an Ecuadorian rose farm. Stepping into the shoes of roses and immersively experiencing the production process, the film takes on a morbid perspective on human‘s way to appropriate nature.Everything must be perfect. Every magical item must be used in the correct order, every herb carefully selected, and every bone finely ground. The whispered words from the ancient tome are the key, and a flaming portal to hell opens to bring forth a powerful demon that now answers to her command. But what will she wish for, now that she has this immense power at her disposal?
