Spring is a 2014 American romantic body horror film directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. The film stars Lou Taylor Pucci and Nadia Hilker.
Evan, a young American man, loses his mother to cancer and the next day his job as cook in a restaurant. His friend advises him to travel to get his mind clear. Evan travels to Italy. He meets a flirtatious girl named Louise, who he is initially suspicious of, but becomes more interested in. To pursue his relationship with Louise he takes a job at a local farm and starts living in a small town of Italy.
Louise, who initially rejected Evan, finally has sex with him without using a condom. The next morning she wakes up before him and leaves. When Evan is wandering the town later, he catches sight of Louise and talks to her again. They later explore the town together. After a few dates, Louise asks Evan about his family story. Although he is reluctant to reveal details, he relents and then asks Louise to tell him something about her. Louise takes out the contact lens from her right eye to show Evan that she has heterochromia, and that her eyes have different colors. Evan sees the same condition reflected in the women on many of the paintings in the museum and also on the cover of a book. One night, Louise is having dinner with Evan when her skin condition starts getting worse. She runs off the street and is followed by a tourist who mistakes her for a prostitute. Louise unwillingly kills him after she mutates into a reptilian creature.
Evan, who has been working illegally on the farm, has to leave when police make a visit there. As he has nowhere to go, he goes to Louise's house. The door is chain-locked, through which he sees blood on the floor and hears a strange voice. He breaks the chain to open the door and finds an octopus-like creature on the floor wearing Louise's dress, trying to reach a syringe. He quickly picks the syringe up and injects it into the creature's neck.
Louise reveals to Evan that she's a 2,000 years old mutant. All the pictures of women with dual eye color, including the one on the cover of the book, are of her. Every 20 years in spring she gets herself pregnant, and then her body uses cells in the embryo she carries to recreate her while she changes into different creatures during the process. Evan is shocked and leaves. Louise follows him and keeps telling him more about the condition. She reveals that she did not use a condom during intercourse with Evan in order to purposely get pregnant. She also reveals that if she falls in love with someone, her body will produce oxytocin, a hormone which will keep embryo cells from consumption and will mean she will lose her immortality and live a normal life. Evan asks if she is in love with him, to which she replies she is not and also that she would not give up her immortality for anyone.
