The film follows a woman who lives in a world of intense conformity. In the grounds of a large manor house, her and the other identical
inhabitants eat the same, move the same, look the same. They spend their time doing strange synchronised dances around the bubble-gum pink, walled grounds. But everything changes when she gets given an orange by a strange figure. She has never seen an orange.
In the exploration of this new and exciting discovery, she gets transported into another realm. In this forested world full of lichens and copulating slugs she discovers sexuality. But how can she balance this with the world she knows?
