KL University as film location
Since the beginning of this week, KL has been the location for filming. Jessica Hausner shoots her new film in international co-production with Great Britain and Germany at the KL premises.
Story:Alice is a passionate and ambitious plant breeder. When she presents her newly created vermilion flower, Little Joe, named after her son, Joe, to her PlantHouse colleagues for the first time, she has no idea that the beautiful plant will soon spread its seeds so much that one has to assume that it causes changes in animals and humans. The infected seem strange. Even her own son Joe suddenly seems to have changed. Or is it just her imagination? Or a mother's fear of losing her pubescent son?Gradually Alice is drawn into a spiral of eerie events. A game between deception and truth emerges, at the end of which the loss of one's own identity threatens to occur...
