"Flowie", the flowerpot monster, is the star of a cartoony yet thought-provoking 3D animated short on fake news. Its peaceful life on a city balcony is interrupted when a mysterious parcel arrives—a computer! The device leads Flowie's owner to "The Roots of Truth," a website filled with advice on plant treatment. After enduring extreme care—ranging from overwatering to drought—Flowie decides to confront the source of its suffering head-on. David Seul and Kishore Srinivasan captured Flowie’s battle against misinformation as their final project in the MA3D Animation for Film & Games, the cooperative study program of Internationale Filmschule Köln and Cologne Game Lab of TH Köln.
