Carrotica
In the suburbs somewhere in Canada, 16-year-old Nadav is writing an explicit gay erotica in private. His mother, Dr. Shari Tremor, is a fertility botanist studying the mating patterns of carrots and becomes fascinated and aroused by the particularly seductive Femme Carrot.
Through fantasy, music, and tango, the two find themselves overwhelmed with their lust and forced to confront their inner selves.
