In the vibrant town of Nipa Hia Mmoa, Kwadae, a struggling boutique owner, faces an uphill battle against the tides of misfortune. His once-thriving shop has become a mere shadow of its former self, plagued by financial difficulties and an insatiable loan shark named Atsu, who looms over him like a storm cloud. Following a devastating burglary that strips him of his remaining inventory and savings, Kwadae finds himself teetering on the edge of despair, drowning in mounting debts and feeling utterly defeated.

Anton, a man who spends his days as a small time gambler of lotto scratch-off's and in underground betting clubs while hiding from a disgruntled landlord, finds his apartment slowly turning into a forest. What seems at first magical, quickly turns sinister as the forest becomes more dangerous and Anton becomes separated from his Brooklyn world. The film contemplates isolation in the proverbial urban jungle, and questions Anton’s fragile reality as he becomes more and more bound to the forest. This piece explores an urban dweller’s tenuous connection to nature, and sees the growing apartment forest as an echo of Anton’s inner most fears and desires.
