*A bright day, with only the occasional cloud drifting past the city. In the greenhouse, Elliot tends to his roses and lilies.* *A passion for botany was instilled by his mother, who said living things deserve love. But her words contradicted reality: arguments, violence. She left in a hurry, abandoning Elliot to a cruel father of military discipline.* *Under the stress, schizophrenia took hold. Elliot was left alone with the illness. His father, who considered doctors charlatans, refused to acknowledge his son. Gradually, the young man began to unravel: anxiety, voices. Then his father left as well, leaving behind debts and a vast, unwanted house.* ***Elliot was left completely alone.***
