You Used to Bring Me Flowers
A man steals flowers. His appetite grows as he steals more. We follow him as he picks the flowers of different women. From a thief who is sensitive to the gaze of passersby, the man’s gaze becomes more intrusive, penetrating homes and intimate spaces.
Finally he empties the city of flowers and offers a bouquet as a gesture to a woman.
She takes the flowers and eats them, momentarily seeming like a spider.
then she dismissively throws back the flower stalks and leaves the man behind.
