The tropical plant Divina Gloria comes to fruition once every hundred years. For the duration of only one night she shows her exuberant beauty. Then she dies. In this bittersweet comedy we follow a number of people in the Hortus Botanicus, who witness this short-lived bloom. During the night, they become more and more entranced by this sultry miracle, with an ecstatic outcome.

All shy people pass away. All at the same time, in one blow, all of them. A small community organizes a funeral for all its shy residents who have passed away. Everyone is eager to say something.
