The Song

The Movie Version:

Dr. Pablo Lotus has lived his life free of all emotional attachments, choosing to focus exclusively on his work as a botanist.

But when his beautiful lab assistant Patricia Flower accompanies him on a research trip to Australia, Vietnam and India, he finds himself falling in love.

The new feelings stir up more than emotions, however.

Lotus finds himself having powerful visions of a desolate earth that has been entirely reclaimed by wildlife. Great buildings have turned from grey to green. Seas are choked with algae. Cars lie rusted and filled with flowers. And at the centre of every vision - a strange man in a bowler hat, dancing between the blooms.

As the visions become more and more extreme, Lotus decides to end the relationship with Patricia. He walks away from her, immediately bumping into a man in a bowler hat. And the man starts to dance...

Key Quote:

Lotus: "There's an empty space in my heart, where the weeds take root."
