Movie
Paper Lotus (2026)
Amero, a passive and self-indulgent bystander, watches a peaceful protest for the oppressed Lotials from his balcony, crafting a half-hearted paper lotus in solidarity. When the protest is violently dispersed by the city guards, he retreats, shaken and unwilling to act. The next day, he encounters Eris, a defiant Lotial, who confronts him for his hollow support. In a misguided attempt to help, Amero gives Eris an energy seed, only to be led to a factory revealing the horrific reality of Lotials awaiting harvest.
