Little Joe
coop99 filmproduktion, The Bureau, Essential Films
Plants make you happy! Especially Little Joe, a genetically modified plant species that was bred specifically for this purpose. However, biologist Alice notices rather alarming effects in her environment in connection with the plant: Her son increasingly turns away from her. What role does Little Joe play in this? In her first English-language work, Hausner moves between psychological thriller, science fiction and horror, peppered with deep black humour. [ORF, through July 4.]
