Two neighbors are living side by side in harmony, up until a flower grows in between their properties. The argument over its ownership ends up with both of them in their graves, weaving a timeless moral: you have to love thy neighbor. An iconic anti-war animated short film by legendary Norman McLaren, which uses the pixilation technique to blend real actors with animated objects.
