Planting Day grapples with the inescapable fact that two things can be true at the same time. It follows a couple's moral dilemma of wanting to start a family while facing a world that is slowly burning. We see a young queer individual struggle to find their place in the universe while finding love (or something of the sort) in an unlikely place. We get an intimate view into the world of a young man navigating new love in a post-chivalrous, pre-apocalyptic world. A mom finds herself unsure how to generationally relate to her daughter. And of course, George the dolphin is there to watch it all unfold from his throne in the nightmarescape, falling victim to his meddling habit once or twice along the way. But please, hold the popcorn...plastic's back on the menu.
