Storyline
| Plot Summary |
An imaginative lad of about ten has a couple of problems: he wets his bed, and his parents are abusive and disgusting. In a spare room, he finds a bag of seeds, which he plants in soil that he's placed in the middle of a single bed. The seed sprouts and grows into a grandmother, who's loving and approving. Life with his parents and with his imagination continues. Is a smiling grandmother enough to get him through?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | When hired by Mel Brooks and Stuart Cornfeld to direct The Elephant Man (1980), David Lynch showed this film to producer Jonathan Sanger, who initially had optioned the script, as he still wasn't convinced that Lynch was right for the job. This convinced him otherwise, as it showed that Lynch not only could make a surreal nightmare but also an emotionally affecting film. See more » |
