The video describes the intimate space of the altar, hidden from the eyes of the outside world. The characters jokingly offer to sacrifice themselves, talk about fear, which is not really there. And there is only infinite power and authority under the cover of submission.
Potted plants are weaned from the flesh of their native land, but they continue to spread networks of roots and fill centimeters of room space. The viewer becomes a visitor to a secluded garden, where each plant has its own character, and in the flower, literally - its own face.
