Eva is 40 years old and pregnant. She has a professional career as a biologist. In her home laboratory, she carries out drastic experiments on plants, which not only experience physical pain she inflicts on them, but seem to be mentally susceptible to the fear she has programmed them to feel. One day, a man is killed by a fallen tree.  This happens again and the word on the street is that trees want to kill.  Eva’s husband makes the city officials cut down “all the rotten trees” in the vicinity...
