Winning Emily Beecham the Best Actress award in Cannes last year, Little Joe is a chilling drama about the genetic manipulation of plants, ambiguously perched between sci-fi, paranoia and realism. Single mother Alice (Emily Beecham) is a dedicated senior scientist who has just developed a special species of flower that, if kept in the right conditions, can make people happy. But as the flower grows, so do her suspicions that her new creation may not be as harmless as she initially thought.
