Plot
'Bad Seeds' depicts a surreal modern-day fable where two carnivorous plants, who can change shape like chameleons change colours, would rather fight over flies than work together to survive. Growth is intertwined with rivalry; evolution with competition, resulting in a startling conflict littered with references to historical figures, popular culture, board games, and more.
