In a seemingly homogeneous atmosphere, Undergrowth places diverse characters; the tamed beside the wild. Discovering a universe of 'civilized animals'; borders between 'human' and all other living things get blurred and re-sharpened when each of the individuals peel off layers of pretended affection. Observing the fragility under the surface of a cultural makeup, Undergrowth takes place in a domestic - family environment, reflecting on wildness, solitude and longing for connection.
