    The old house next to Adam’s, long abandoned, now has a new occupant. Eva—a woman with a gift for nurturing all kinds of plants—transforms the eerie atmosphere of the place into Toko Firdauz, a lush and thriving garden shop. Adam, a restless teenager caught in a wave of sexual curiosity, often watches Eva and her plants from his bedroom window.

    Amidst his growing desire, Adam begins to witness rose vines creeping into his room—blurring the line between reality and fantasy—where a woman’s body sprouts thorns and roots. Eva has lived her whole life under the shadow of a curse—one where things are always growing from her body. Adam keeps her secret, along with the fantasies that haunt him night after night.

    Duri dan Kutuk unfolds the tangled tale of a woman whose life has been constantly disturbed by thorns and surrounded by curses. In the end, everything returns to the earth, swallowed by the thicket.
