scene 1:
Arriving at the exhibition, meeting Paloma
-
TJ (flower head) arrives at the Gallery exhibition early as Paloma (the painter) is finishing a big canvas.
-
She’s painting aggressively and cathartically as he walks in.
-
TJ just stands there and watches.
-
The painting is rather abstract but it looks like a painting of a flower? No, a bouquet of flowers?
-
TJ scans the room and realizes all the paintings incorporate flowers in one way or another.
scene 2:
Realizing what this place is...
-
Mr. Fall (mask man in suit) comes over and parades Paloma and her painting.
-
He turns to TJ and introduces himself, making sure TJ knows where he's just arrived.
-
This is a cult. And in about 15 minutes the cult leader's guests will arrive to see his 'prized artists' work.
-
He introduces TJ to Paloma, then walks away.
-
Paloma passes TJ a flower she's smoking - the same way one would pass you a joint. He smokes the flower and begins to hallucenate.
scene 3:
Hallucinating, confronting Root
-
TJ becomes surrounded by creepy masked art buyers in suits. They start to play with the flowers all over his head. They start picking the flowers. Some start smoking them like cigarettes.
-
The environment completely morphs from the inside of a gallery to outside in middle of the forest.
-
Masked suited people are all over, coming out from behind trees and burning flowers. They are approaching TJ and eerily messing with the flowers on his head.
-
TJ turns around to Root appearing in front of him. He then starts to come closer.
-
Root confronts TJ. They have an intimidating interaction, essentially reminding TJ that he chose to be in this environment and asking if it was worth it.
-
TJ's flowers become more and more withered as the masked suited people mess with his head.
-
Paloma comes back and Root is gone. So are the people who were playing with his flowers.
scene 4:
Running Away
-
TJ and Paloma run away together in the streets of Brooklyn
-
They pause for a moment in front of a big church.
-
Paloma tells TJ to "die of yourself" to remind him that he's hallucinating and that everyone he's met tonight is a figment of his own twisted imagination.
-
She disappears as if she was never there with him to begin with.
-
The hallucination is over and so is TJ's fantasy.
