Mark, a failed biohacker, discovers his grandmother's ancient kombucha recipe in her basement. His first experiment yields an unexpected result: the brew animates his houseplants, which begin to exhibit signs of sentient and rather petulant behavior. At first it's amusing—a cactus demands politically correct treatment, a monstera throws tantrums over drafts. But when the fungal culture outgrows its jar and decides to colonize the entire city, the jokes stop. Mark and his vegan neighbor Lena must team up to stop a green apocalypse fermenting in their own kitchen. The film walks the line between absurdity and existential dread, turning a domestic story into an epic battle for humanity's survival against its own probiotic flora.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The directorial style hinges on contrast: grim, almost documentary-like shots of fermentation processes clash with bright, cartoonish bursts of plant-based violence. The camera frequently adopts the culture's point of view, fostering a sense of paranoia.

Those who tire of jump-scares will find a different kind of dread here—the slow, creeping horror of something you cultured yourself turning against you. What lingers after is a bizarre cocktail of disgust at slimy textures and reluctant awe for mold's stubborn will to live. — MovieFinder Editorial
