SAP

By Rafaella Marcus

When a woman tells a lie to her girlfriend, a seed is planted that grows in the darkness. Now roots are cracking through the pavement and branches are coming in at the windows. As she starts to see things that no one else can, she becomes the focus of some seriously unwanted attention.

Sap is a queer urban fable about passion, power and photosynthesis.
