One day, Alice, a neurotic Kindergarten teacher, discovers tiny mushrooms growing on her skin. Her doctor is unhelpful and while her elderly neighbor tries to support her, Alice is unwilling to accept her advice. As the fungi spread across her skin, Alice’s self-hatred grows, and her life becomes increasingly miserable. She would do anything to get rid of the infection. The mushrooms turn Alice into a monster. But since when is that a bad thing?
