In their dilapidated church headquarters, a dispirited cult awaits the sign to off themselves. Their hapless leader, Dave, concocts a plan: to quell infighting and give them purpose in life, he fakes a prophecy instructing them to make a movie and share their story with the world. They don't know the first thing about film production, but in making the movie the cult members find a uniting purpose. Then, just as they hit their stride, Dave receives a true prophecy. It's time for them to "exit."

The grounds of Klaus Rinke’s Los Angeles studio overflow with an otherworldly cactus garden. The cactus—a plant firmly rooted in the horticultural zeitgeist—is a lifelong obsession of the enigmatic artist whose career as a pioneering conceptual artist spans more than 6-decades. Striking footage of the cacti garden reveals a surreal hidden geometry and illuminates the uncanny ways in which cacti and humans express themselves and coexist.

A yearly San Francisco passover Seder with a guest list of entirely lesbians, is documented by a young male filmmaker and his loud and opinionated Grandfather.

Paul Graviano has molded his life and business around the art and philosophy of bonsai. Evolving a hobby and vast personal collection into a 40-year career growing and shaping miniature trees, Graviano spent time working with legendary bonsai expert Frank Okamura while volunteering at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden before founding the Bonsai of Brooklyn in 1976 – one of the oldest businesses in the U.S. dedicated to the Japanese bonsai tradition. Now in his eighties, Graviano reflects on the landscape of memory, and a life deeply influenced by plants.
