Heinrich putem ljubavi želi pobijediti neizbježnu smrt, ali ne uspijeva uvjeriti svoju skeptičnu rodicu Marie da sa njim sklopi samoubilački pakt. Dok se pokušava pomiriti sa odbijanjem, i duboko povrijeđen njenom neosjetljivošću na snagu njegovih osjećanja, Heinrich upoznaje Henriette, suprugu svog poslovnog partnera. Prijedlog koji joj nedugo potom daje isprva ne privlači Henriette, ali to se mijenja nakon što ona sazna da je smrtno bolesna. AMOUR FOU je „romantična komedija“ inspirisana samoubistvom pjesnika Henricha von Kleista 1811. godine. Berlin, the Romantic Era. Young poet Heinrich wishes to conquer the inevitability of death through love, yet is unable to convince his sceptical cousin Marie to join him in a suicide pact. It is whilst coming to terms with this refusal, ineffably distressed by his cousin’s insensitivity to the depth of his feelings, that

Heinrich meets Henriette, the wife of a business acquaintance. Heinrich’s subsequent offer to the beguiling young woman at first holds scant appeal, until Henriette discovers she is suffering from a terminal illness. AMOUR FOU is a “romantic comedy” based loosely on the suicide of the poet Henrich von Kleist in 1811.

Alice je samohrana majka i predana inžinjerka agronomije zaposlena u korporaciji koja se bavi uzgojem novih biljnih vrsta. Uzgojila je izuzetan grimizni cvijet koji ne samo da je lijep već ima i izuzetnu terapeutsku vrijednost. Naime, ako se drži na idealnoj temperaturi, pravilno prehranjuje i ako se sa njim razgovara, cvijet osobu koja ga posjeduje čini sretnom. Protivno pravilima svoje kompanije, Alice jedan cvijet nosi kući na poklon svome sinu, tinejdžeru Joeu. Njih dvoje ga odluče nazvati „mali Joe“, ali kako cvijet raste tako raste i Alicina sumnja da biljka nije baš tako bezopasna kao što njeno ime sugeriše.

Alice, a single mother, is a dedicated senior plant breeder at a corporation engaged in developing new species. She has engineered a very special crimson flower, remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic value: if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly, and spoken to regularly, this plant makes its owner happy. Against company policy, Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They christen it ‘Little Joe’ but, as it grows, so too does Alice’s suspicion that her new creation may not be as harmless as its nickname suggests.
