Set in a world where the majority of the human population has lost the opportunity to live on the Earth’s surface, individuals now dwell in isolated underground rooms, with their physical and spiritual needs managed by the omnipotent Machine, created by humanity to sustain its population. However, the role of the machine is now being questioned. Eventually, the Machine collapses, leading to the downfall of “civilization” itself. Genial found this topic inspiring and chose to interpret it in a deeply personal manner.
As a young boy discovers a way to introduce a flower into the machine, the system starts to break down, triggering a transformative event and inspiring a fresh start for a natural world.
