A used condom lands on a sunflower and gives it sentience. Granville Davis directs “Plant Parenthood,” an endearingly bizarre comedy punctuated with “Sesame Street” like puppetry. We meet a struggling couple: Ronnie desperately wants children, but his wife, Margaret, seems to have moved on. An executive at a condom company, Margaret heads to the office for a sales meeting as Ronnie lounges at home. After tending to his many plants and, also, his bodily pleasures, a sunflower miraculously comes to life. The film exhibits the playful qualities of a children’s TV show while also touching on some realities of marriage and parenthood. -JM. Director: Granville Davis. Cast: Arielle Prepetit, Mario Haynes, BJ Guyer, and Granville Davis. DP: Jacob Trauscht. Producers: Amanda Seay, Granville Davis, and Nick Fraser.
