Synopsis:

The daughter of a mother who wants to die, a disabled soccer player, a family man with a double life, a hip couple in their thirties and a broken family with an autistic son. They all live in one city. And in the next 24 hours , they will be more connected than they think. A painful and loving look at the complexity of loneliness in the Netherlands. LOTUS is a rare cinematic experience that challenges audiences to question their own loneliness and that of others. Diving headfirst into the harsh individualistic reality of a big city, this film investigates fear, loneliness and love from multiple perspectives. No one seems safe in the battle for happiness. And no one is immune to the hidden pain of individualism and anonymity that causes loneliness and changes lives. The lotus is a water plant that grows from the mud towards the light. The lotus effect is the phenomenon that occurs when dirt lands on the leaf of a Lotus: It won't stick. This self-cleaning feature is due to the numerous small bumps on the leaf.

Over the course of 24 hours within in a bustling city, several people live out their anonymous and lonely lives. For 24 hours the camera of Pascale Simons passes almost silently across several anonymous lives within our busy and hectic society, and a moving palette of stories about loneliness, both tragic and humorous, begins to form. In these modern times, we have numerous ways to connect with each other through social media, but it is more difficult to make truly meaningful contact. In their pursuit of happiness, the characters in LOTUS attempt to break through these social connection barriers.
