The opening of an annual flower show sets the stage for this elusive, hand-drawn animation that explores the underlying fabric of our society. While little girls are dressed up for the occasion, the older women are dealing with a completely different set of expectations. Seemingly stuck between sensual plays and discomforting gazes, will any of these girls ever find an escape from this yearly ritual?
