THE LOTUS GUN
Director: Amanda milius
The year is 2077. In a post-civilization landscape, two things are rare and valuable: guns and women. Women fall victim more easily to this harsh and unprotected lawless landscape. They have few choices of how to survive, either in the conditions imposed by tribal communes, depending on men for safety, or on their own, forced to depend on each other. Nora and Daphine live an idyllic life in a makeshift home amongst stunning landscapes and beautiful vistas in the wilderness. But they face an unforeseen threat when they come into contact with a strange runaway from a misogynistic drug cult.
